Hi All,

Been playing for years and thought I should actually contribute something
back. I nicked this tab from watching Adam Thompson (lead singer of
Chocolate Starfish and born legend) on this youtube video:

I reckon I'm not too far off but please feel free to send any corrections.
I'd be very sad if this song disappeared into the past. It's a beautiful
song sung by someone who can belt out a hell of a tune...

Cheers...

Mountain - Chocolate Starfish

Intro - G - Bm - Am/G - C/G

G (320003@1)                      Gsus4There (3x0013@1)once was a wrong, thought it was right
G (320003@1)                          Gsus4There (3x0013@1)once was a truth that thought it could lie
	   EmThen (022000@1)they saw
D (xx0232@1)C/G (3x555x@1)       F/GThey (303211@1)were nothing new at all
G (320003@1)		Gsus4After (3x0013@1)the storm, along came the landslide
G (320003@1)		Gsus4Would (3x0013@1)they climb? Would they swim? Time to decide
	   EmIf (022000@1)I had to choose
C (x32010@1)name="chord_x02210@1">Am	DI (xx0232@1)know what I'd do

GYou (320003@1)wanted me to be a mountain
		BmI'd (x24432@1)rather be a river
Am (x02210@1)  C (x32010@1)GWater (320003@1)flow can wash a hill away
		GYou (320003@1)wanted me to fly
		BmI (x24432@1)want to get high
Am (x02210@1)	C (x32010@1)      GHow (320003@1)else am I gonna see what I want to see?

I am for now, you are forever
And behind the rust is buried treasure
Is it gold?
Is it something we can hold?

GAll (320003@1)will come and go (all will come and go)
GAll (320003@1)will come and go (like a river flow)

I always knew
What I had to do

You wanted me to be a mountain
I'd rather be a river
Water flow can wash a hill away
You wanted me to fly
I want to get high
How else am I gonna see what I want to see?

I always knew
There was rust between the truth
I always knew
What I had to do

You wanted me to be a mountain
I'd rather be a river
Water flow can wash a hill away
You wanted me to fly
I want to get high
How else am I gonna see what I want to see?

Na Na Na Na Na...

(You want me to be a mountain)
You want me to be a river
Water flow can wash that hill
Wash it away, wash it away
(You wanted me to fly)
Ooh, you wanted me to fly
How else am I gonna see what I want to see?
