Judy Collins - Mountain Girl CAPO: 2nd Fret [Intro] [Verse 1] Out on the street it was raining today Homeless man stood in the cold Gave him five dollars and went on my way Big city blues in my soul [Verse 2] Maybe like me that man chose to live here Where there are days your heart dies Maybe he dreamed of a place far away Under the wide open skies [Verse 3] Went on my way feeling strange all that day Wondering what had gone wrong Deep in my heart I could hear that voice call Haunting me all that day long [Chorus] Mountain girl___ in the city You’ve been gone___ far too long Find your way__ back to the mountains Where you know__ you belong Where your dreams can’t go wrong [Verse 4] I’ve seen the world and it’s sights in my day Cities that blaze like the sun I’ve had my share of their riches and fame Done things I never should have done__ [Verse 5] Been broken hearted and broken some hearts Tried running hard from my pain And all along that voice calls in my soul Come back to the mountains again [Chorus] Mountain girl___ in the city You’ve been gone___ far too long Find your way__ back to the mountains Where you know__ you belong Where your dreams can’t go wrong [Bridge] Bought a ticket back again Heading home once more___ Feel that aching pain recede Like the waves on a shore [Verse 6] I feel the heart of the mountains again Beating inside my breast Bringing me back to the place I belong Bringing me home to the west [Verse 7] No pain or sorrow can keep me away I’d even walk that last long mile Here in the mountains where every sunrise starts I’ll heal my heart for awhile [Chorus] Mountain girl___ in the city You’ve been gone___ far too long Find your way__ back to the mountains Where you know__ you belong Where your dreams can’t go wrong [Outro] Mountain girl__ Mountain girl Mountain girl__ in the city____
