happy(?) once again

We chose just not to marry
but go ahead and carry
all of our earthly goods
move out in the woods

E7   E4th E5th
Midnight on the mountain
and you watch the clouds roll by
Country has a feeling
it’s more than meets the eye

A      D(2)   G(2)  D(2)
meets the eye

moonlight on the cabin and
it’s too damn cold to sleep
your head turns from my pillow so
I can’t hear you weep

here you weep
Sara sleep

E
Stoned alone with you
at least the city streets have drains
standing here as far up in the rain
                                      B
longing for boston once again

Sara’s cold and hungry
and the baby’s due any day
stuck up in high country
the snow don’t melt til May
here we’ll stay

Mountain fever’s on me
and today the truck broke down
doctor in the valley
but we can’t get into town
he don’t come round

Sara cried for Boston
and her mother late last night
I reassured her everything wasd tight
but I’m not sure that it’s alright

Midnight on the mountain
and you watch the clouds roll by
Country has a feeling
it’s more than meets the eye

meets the eye
