Montana Chords & Lyrics - James Taylor

[VERSE 1]
C - 2nd fret
[D]I'm not smart enough for this [Em]life I've been [A7]livin',
A [G]little bit slow for the [Em]pace of the [A]dream.
It's [Bm]not I'm ungrateful for [G]all I've been given;
But [Em]nevertheless, [A]just the [D]same...

[VERSE 2]
[D]I wish to my soul, I was [Em]back in Mon-[A7]tana,
[G]High on my mountain and [Em]deep in the [A]snow.
[Bm]Up in my cabin, [G]over the valley, [Em]Under the [A]blankets with [D]you.

[CHORUS]
[Bm] [G] [A] [D] [A]
O------------ O------ ver the ocean from here.
[Bm] [G] [A] [D] [A]
O------------ O-------ver the mountains from there.

[VERSE 3]
[D]Who can imagine the [Em]scale of the [A7]forces
That [G]pushed this old mountain range [Em]up in the [A]sky?
Tec-[Bm]tonic creation, e-[G]rosion, mutation;
[Em]Somethin' to [A]pleasure God's [D]eye.

[VERSE 4]
[D]The world is a wonder of [Em]lightnin' and [A7]thunder,
And [G]green of the ground as we [Em]fall from the [A]sky.
The [Bm]old and new faces, the [G]tribes and the races...
[Em]Thousands of [A]places to [D]try.

[CHORUS]
[Bm] [G] [A] [D] [A]
O------------ O------ ver the ocean from here.
[Bm] [G] [A] [D] [A]
O------------ O-------ver the mountains from there.

[VERSE 5]
[D]One sits and [Em]waits while the [A]other one [Bm]wanders,
And [G]squanders his [Em]time with a [A]life on the road.
[Bm]Down from the mountain, a-[G]cross the wide ocean,
The [Bm]world is in motion and [A]cannot be [D]slowed.

[VERSE 6]
[D]Enough for today... the de-[Em]mands of the [A7]moment,
The [G]thing on my mind is the [Em]work in my [A]hand.
[Bm]Wood for the woodstove and [G]water for coffee,
[Em]Somethin' I can s[A]till under-[D]stand.

[VERSE 7]
[D]We got a few friends but [Em]not many [A7]neighbors,
The [G]trip into town takes us [Em]most of the [A]day.
And [Bm]after, "Hello", and "it's [G]sure good to see you",
Emm [A] [D]
It seems like there's nothin' to say.

[OUTRO]
[Bm] [G] [A] [D]
O------------ O------ ver the ocean from here.
