Wilco – Remember The Mountain Bed chords
Chords:
Standard Tuning Capo 3rd fretD A G Do you still sing of the mountain bed we made of limbs and leaves?D ADo you still sigh there near the sky where the holly berry bleeds?Bm GYou laughed as I covered you over with leavesEm GFace, breast, hips and thighsD C Em G DYou smiled when I said the leaves were just the color of your eyesD A G Rosin smells and turpentine smells from eucalyptus and pineD ABitter tastes of twigs we chewed where tangled woodbines twineBm GTrees held us in on all four sidesEm Gso thick we could not seeD C Em G DI could not see any wrong in you, and you saw none in meD A G Your arm was brown against the ground, your cheeks part of the skyD AYour fingers played with grassy moss, as limber you did lieBm GYour stomach moved beneath your shirtEm Gand your knees were in the airD C Em G DYour feet played games with mountain roots as you lay thinking thereD A G Below us the trees grew clumps of trees raised families of trees, and theyD AAs proud as we tossed their heads in the wind and flung good seeds awayBm GThe sun was hot and the sun was brightEm Gdown in the valley belowD C Em G DWhere people starved and hungry for life so empty come and goD A G There in the shade and hid from the sun we free'd our minds and learnedD AOur greatest reason for being here, our bodies moved and burnedBm GThere on our mountain bed of leavesEm Gwe learned life's reason whyD C Em G DPeople laugh and love and dream, they fight and they hate to dieD A G The smell of your hair I know is still there, if most of our leaves are blownD AOur words still ring in the brush and the trees where singing seeds are sownBm GYour shape and form is dim, but plainEm Gthere on our mountain bedD C Em G DI see my life was brightest where you laughed and laid your headD A G I learned the reason why man must work and how to dream big dreamsD ATo conquer time and space and fight the rivers and the seasBm GI stand here filled with my emptiness nowEm Gand look at city and landD C Em G DI know why farms and cities are built by hot warm nervous handsD A G I've crossed many states just to stand here now, my face all hot with tearsD AI've crossed city and valley, desert and stream to bring my body hereBm GMy history and future blaze bright in meEm Gand all my joy and painD C Em G DGo through my head on our mountain bed where I smell your hair againD A G All this day long I linger here and on in through the nightD AMy greeds, my joys, my cravings, hopes, my dreams inside me fightBm GMy loneliness healed, my emptiness filledEm GI walk above all painD C Em G DBack to the breast of my woman and child to scatter my seeds again...
