Upward Over The Mountain - Iron & Wine chords

Key: Em Singer/Band: Iron & Wine


(Verse 1)
[Em]Mother don't [C]worry
I killed the [G]last snake that lived in the [D]creek bed
[Em]Mother don't [C]worry
I've got some [G]money I saved for the [D]weekend
[Em]Mother, re [C]member being so [G]stern
With that girl who was [D]with me?
[Em]Mother, re [C]member the blink of an [G]eye
When I breathed through your [D]body?
(Chorus)
[Em]So may the [C]sunrise bring [G]hope
Where it once was [D]forgotten
[Em]Sons are [C]like birds
Flying [G]upwards over the [D]mountain
(Verse 2)
[Em]Mother, I [C]made it up
From the [G]bruise of a floor of this [D]prison
[Em]Mother, I [C]lost it
All of the [G]fear of the Lord I was [D]given
[Em]Mother [C]forget me
Now that the [G]creek drank the cradle you [D]sang to
[Em]Mother [C]forgive me
I sold your [G]car for the shoes that I [D]gave you
(Chorus)
[Em]So may the [C]sunrise bring [G]hope
Where it once was [D]forgotten
[Em]Sons are [C]like birds
Flying [G]upwards over the [D]mountain
[Em] [C] [G] [D](x4)
(Verse 3)
[Em]Mother, don't [C]worry
I've got a [G]coat and some friends on the [D]corner
[Em]Mother, don't [C]worry
She's got a [G]garden we're planting [D]together
[Em]Mother, re [C]member the night
That the [G]dog had her pups in the [D]pantry?
[Em]Blood on the [C]floor and the fleas on their [G]paws
And you cried 'til the [D]morning
(Chorus)
[Em]So may the [C]sunrise bring [G]hope
Where it once was [D]forgotten
[Em]Sons are [C]like birds
Flying [G]upwards over the [D]mountain
[Em] [C] [G] [D](x4)
[Em] [C] [G] [D](x8)
