Mystery Of Ida Bales chords

[VERSE]
Up on the m[Em]ountain, where the w[D]ind blows f[G]ree, deep [D]in a s[Em]hady grove of white oak t[B7]rees
Ida B[Am]ales sleeps forever as we w[Em]onder why. You left this troubled world in your ei[B7]ghteenth year of life.
Covered [Em]now with moss and le[D]aves that a[G]lmost hide. A g[Em]rave long forgotten by the w[B7]orld outside.
It’s w[Am]here they gathered and it’s w[Em]here they cried, on one summer morning [B7]as they said good[Em]bye.

[CHORUS]
W[C]hat did you dream of when you cl[G]osed your eyes, or w[D]hen you looked up at the starry, [G]midni[Am]ght [Bm]sky
D[C]id the deep blue hills, their t[D]ruth rev[Em]eal? Love and life will always [B7]be a myst[Em]ery.

[VERSE]
Did you [Em]love to hear the murmur [D]of a mo[G]untain stream? To f[Em]eel the soft, warm breezes [D]in the e[B7]arly spring?
To w[Am]alk upon the winter’s frosted ground. To [Em]see the snow cling to the pines [B7]as the sun went down
Were you g[Em]entle and caring, w[D]ere you sw[G]eet and kind? Did you l[Em]ong to be a mother and a l[B7]oving wife?
A woodland f[Am]lower that had just begun to bloom. An a[Em]ngel came from heaven and t[B7]ook you home too s[Em]oon

[CHORUS]
W[C]hat did you dream of when you cl[G]osed your eyes, or w[D]hen you looked up at the starry, [G]midn[Am]ight s[Bm]ky
D[C]id the deep blue hills, their t[D]ruth re[Em]veal? Love and life will always [B7]be a myst[Em]ery.

[OUTRO]
W[C]hat did you dream of when you cl[G]osed your eyes, or wh[D]en you looked up at the starry, [G]mid[Am]night [Bm]sky
D[C]id the deep blue hills, their tr[D]uth re[Em]veal? Love and life will always [B7]be a mystery.
L[C]ove and life and you, will always [B7]be - a my[Em]stery.
