Verse:

E5                A5             E5        D5
Walking through the high dry grass 
D5   E5         A5            D5      A5
Pushing my way though slow
E5        A5               E5             D5                  
Yellow belly black snake sleeping on a red rock 
  E5                  A5        D5      A5
waiting for the stranger to go
E5             A5             E5      D5            
Sugar train stops at the crossing  
D5   E5           A5          D5     A5
Cane cockies cursing below
A5   E5        A5           E5           D5            E5       A5    D5     A5
Bad storm coming. Better run to the top of the mountain

Chorus:
E5                 A5            F#5     D5      A5
Mountain in the shadow of light
E5     A5   F#5   D5       A5        E5              A5                F#5  D5   A5
Rain          In the valley below  mountain in the shadow of light
E5     A5   F#5  D5            E5            A5     F#5          D5    A5    
Rain           well you can Say you're Peter say you're Paul
E5            A5            F#5       D5   A5
Don't put me up on your bedroom wall
E5     A5      F#5    D5       A5     E5    A5   E5   D5   E5   A5   D5   A5
Call  me          King of the mountain

Verse:
E5                A5       E5       D5
Blacksmith fires up the bellows
D5   E5           A5            D5     A5
Cane cutters burning to load
E5       A5             E5         D5             E5       A5    D5   A5
Workers of the world run to the top of the mountain

Chorus:

Bridge:
C#5                              E5
I can't take the hands from my face
F#5                 F#5               F#5      D5
There are some things we can't replace

Chorus:

Verse:

Over liquid tarmac wastelands of cactus and heat
E5                     A5          F#5         D5    A5
Down cobble stone alleyways of washing sheets
A5  E5                     A5 F#5       D5        A5 
Up ghost prairie mountains of sunset and space
E5           A5   F#5           D5    A5
Down the road a familliar face
E5               A5      F#5        D5          A5
Across the wilderness  Out further than the bush
E5              A5
I will follow you
F#5      D5 A5     E5    A5
I will follow you
F#5      D5 A5     E5    A5      F#5     D5  A5
I will follow you
