Tiger Mountain Peasant Song

(intro)  Am D7 G Em

(verse 1)

Am    D7       G            Em
Wanderers this morning came by
Am        D7       G               F       C
Where did they go, graceful in the morning light
   F      C
To banner fair
   F          G
To follow you softly in the cold mountain air

(verse 2)

Am          D7         G            Em
Through the forest and down to your grave
Am        D7         G            F       C
Where the birds wait and the tall grasses wave
F       C
They do not
F        G
Know you anymore

(interlude) Am D7 G Em Am G F C (keep strumming G)

(chorus)

C    F      G         C
Dear shadow alive and well
C            F    G
How does the body die
    C       D7                   G
You tell me everything, anything true

(verse 3)

Am     D7       G         Em
In the town one morning I went
Am     D7          G            F     C
Staggering through premonitions of my death
F       C   F  G
I don't see anybody that dear to me

(chorus)

C    F      G         C
Dear shadow alive and well
C            F    G
How does the body die
    C       D7                   G
You tell me everything, anything true
Em   Am

C                 Bb     C
I don't know what I have done
Bb          C             Bb   C
I'm turning myself into a demon
C                 Bb     C
I don't know what I have done
Bb          C             Bb   C
I'm turning myself into a demon
