Tracy Chapman - Mountains O' Things: chords

Am
The life I've always wanted
I guess I'll never have
         Dm
I'll be working for somebody else
Until I'm in my grave
          F
I'll be dreaming of a life of ease
     G            F             Am
And mountains oh mountains o' things

To have a big expensive car
Drag my furs on the ground
And have a maid that I can tell
To bring me anything
Everyone will look at me with envy and with greed
I'll revel in their attention
And mountains oh mountains o' things

Sweet lazy life
Champagne and caviar
I hope you'll come and find me
Cause you know who we are
Those who deserve the best in life
And know what money's worth
And those whose sole misfortune
Was having mountains of nothing at birth

Chorus:
         C
Oh they tell me
          G                              Am
There's still time to save my soul They tell me
   C
Renounce all
         G                              Am
Renounce all those material things you gained by
    C             G          Am
Exploiting other human beings

Consume more than you need
This is the dream
Make you pauper
Or make you queen
I won't die lonely
I'll have it all prearranged
A grave that's deep and wide enough
For me and all my mountains o' things

Chorus

G              F     Am
Mostly I feel lonely
G
Good good people are
F               Am
Good people are only My stepping stones
G                      F
It's gonna take all my mountains o' things
      Am
To surround me
G           F
Keep all my enemies away
 G                   F               Am
Keep my sadness and loneliness at bay

The life I've always wanted
I guess I'll never have
I'll be working for somebody else
Until I'm in my grave
I'll be dreaming of a life of ease
And mountains oh mountains o' things

         F
I'll be dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
  G                          Am
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
I'll be dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
I'll be dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
I'll be dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
