Mountains

• E

Hey there; been a while. Here's a terrific Sparklehorse tune for you, that I can't  
believe hasn't been tabbed yet. The song itself is recorded on a slightly overdriven /  
compressed acoustic guitar, but you can strum this out cleanly and it still sounds wonderful: 

Intro: E G D Am 
Every other A-Minor chord, Mark does a little riff like this: 
e|----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|-------0h1--0---------------------------------------------------------| 
G|-----2--------2-0-----------------------------------------------------| 
D|----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|--0-------------------------------------------------------------------| 
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------| 


Verse: 

E            G 
Once I was a big old bear 

D                 Am 
Reigning blows on sparkly snares 

E              G 
In the woods after the snow 

D                         Am 
The white noise witch her hammers cold 

E                G 
Rest beneath the pine and rose 

G                D 
In our suits and Sunday clothes 


C     G     C         D 
Cheer up my brother 

C          G    C       D 
It's gonna be al-right 

All the instruments cut out, save for this guitar riff: 
e|-----------3----------------------------------------------------------| 
B|-------0--------------------------------------------------------------| 
G|-----4---3------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------| 


Am            G                  C           D 
  I know your hearts are heavy as mountains 


e|-----------3----------------------------------------------------------| 
B|-------0--------------------------------------------------------------| 
G|-----4---3------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------| 

Am            G               D 
  We're gonna go back home one day 



Verse - Chorus - Verse - Fuzz/Tinkle out... 



There are a few flourishes on the guitar, some lazy hammer-ons here and 
there. They aren't hard to pick up. Make it your own, it's a beautiful song. 

Thanks for reading!
