• Song:

    The Mountain Song

  • Artist:

    Rayland Baxter

Hi everyone. This is a simple but beautiful song, taken off of Rayland's first 
album "Feathers & Fishhooks". Please listen to the song before playing to get the 
strum and the cadence down. Note that there are many recordings on the internet 
which might not match this exactly, however this is the version he plays on the 
album. Rayland plays the song in C formation with a capo on the 1st fret (Key of D). Enjoy! Matt
