Tiger Mountain Peasant Song

Am / D7 / G / Em


[Verse 1]

Am    D7       G            Em
Wanderers this morning came by
Am        D7       G               F  G    C
Where did they go, graceful in the morning light
   F G    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  G    C
Where the birds wait and the tall grasses wave
F    G  C
They do not
F        G
Know you anymore


[Interlude]

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


[Chorus]

C    F      G         C
Dear shadow alive and well
C           F    G
How can 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  G  C
Staggering through premonitions of my death
F G     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 can the body die
    C       D7                   G
You tell me everything, anything true
Em   Am
Jessie
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
