when I woke up today

G................D...........G
I was feeling ok

............A
but my mind started turning

A
as my breakfast was burning

.....Em
my soul slipped away

.........................D
to a red evening sky

G..........................D
and a lover's sweet sigh

G......................D..........G.......Em
and a wink of an eye

.........................D...........G
and a wink of an eye

just try not to think
cause it will drive you to drink
but I cannot forget
all the things that you said
when we was
flying to high
hung out to dry
and a wink of your eye
and a wink of your eye

what more can I say
why should I even try
after reading your letter
I don't know whether
to laugh or cry
or just say goodbye
just say goodbye
with a wink in my eye
with a wink in my eye

Blue Mountain - Soul Sister

G.........................D
she used to be my soul sister

Em.....................C
best friend I ever had

..........G.............D..........C
till my mind got twisted all around
now she's gone and I miss her
some nights so bad
I'm hoping that she'll come back around

the first time I saw her
was the summer I turned fourteen
she was sitting on the hood of a car at a drive-in show
I saw a tear roll down her face
as she gazed up at the screen
and her black hair in the wind began to blow

F.......C.......G
shine on soul sister

F...................C............................G
she's my only bright light in this town

F......C........G
she's my soul sister

G..............................D.....................C
and I'm hoping that she'll come back around

the last time I saw her
was through the bottom of a glass
I was struggling to hold my head up off the floor
I called her name out once or twice
but she moved just a little too fast
and she walked out of my life and slammed the door

shine on soul sister
she's my only bright light in this town
she's my soul sister
and I'm hoping that she'll come back around

Blue Mountain - Little Mountain Girl

G
does anyone remember

Em
does anybody care

D
the days we danced together

C
with feathers in our hair

rivers ran together
to sing a crystal tune
stones skipped on the water
circles round the moon


Em........Bm
ooh yeah yeah yeah

...............Em.........................................................D
when the full moon shines the mountain pines are swaying

Em........Bm
ooh yeah yeah yeah

Em........................................................D
close your eyes and listen to the guitars playing

built a box together
filled it full of songs
and buried it on the mountain
beneath a pile of bones

then we said goodbye forever
to the hell that was our home
and set out across the flatlands
for forty years to roam

ooh yeah yeah yeah
when the full moon shines the mountain pines are swaying
ooh yeah yeah yeah
close your eyes and listen to the guitars playin

Blue Mountain - Midnight in Mississippi

Intro: Am.Am.Am7.Am.Am.Am7.Em


Am....................C
it's midnight in mississippi

Am....................Em
all the girls are starting to look pretty

Am..............................C
the boys are getting ready to rumble

Am.............................Em
and the stoners are starting to stumble

Dm......................Am
hanging out in a viper's den

Dm...................................Am
hittin' the pipe with my crazy friends

Dm...................................Am
baby take a drink from another cup

F............................................................Em
maybe me and you could watch the sun come up

red wine and marijuana
you make me feel like I really wanna
you make me feel like a mighty hero
but I can't remember how to count to zero
say, I really like you band
you know my daddy was a guitar man
I got a truck parked right outside
maybe me and you can take a midnight ride

took a ride out to junior kimbrough's
parked the car and steamed up the windows
the place was packed, the food was fried
a sign said no dope smoking inside
bumping uglies(?) with a big ole girl
gold teeth and a jheri curl
turned his eyes to roll back in his head
he's laying down some moves that could wake the dead

well I'm raising hell with a rebel yell
banging on a bell that's an old man's motel
I can't seem to find my room key
I wonder would it be the shroom tea
stumblin' with my brand new friend
as the walls begin to spin
she said, "don't worry honey I'm a nurse
I got some medicine right here in my purse"

we made it on the bed, we made it on the floor
she's sweatin' like a race horse and hollarin' for more
and then came a banging on the motel door
a voice said "open up you lyin' whore"
he kicked the door in and came inside
I was looking for a place to hide
he pulled out a knife and said "that's my wife
and now ?????? you're gonna pay with your life"

midnight in mississippi
