General Store

• G

I'm unsure if the lyrics are exactly correct, but it's pretty close. 

2 
capo 2nd fret. 

                     G                  Am  
Well I come from the city on the Island see 
                     G                      C 
where the girls are pretty and the boys are free 
                G                         Am       
what would they do, would they do without me 
           F                    C       
now I have gone to the mountain trees 

You gotta follow the steep and the winding road 
at a thousand feet a-lighter comes your load 
a thousand more feeling light as air 
happiness like this is rare 


              F                   C  
And I'm going down to the general store 
               G              Am   
and the cowboy bar right next door 
       F                  C 
gonna dance to the local band  
            G                      Am 
and raise a glass to this mountain land 
        G                      Am 
raise a glass to this mountain land 

when you come from the sea everything is strange 
the prairie lands and the mountain range 
you let go of your fear and your lonely rage 
you take a deep breath and you turn the page  

well you can do it together, you can do it apart 
you can use your head or you can use your heart 
but be sure that you try with all your might 
to make your heavy load seem light 

Chorus 

Well I come from the city on the Island see 
where the girls are pretty and the boys are free 
what would they do, would they do without me 
now I have gone to the mountain trees 

Chorus
