Saw the chorded version of this & made it better & took away the capo for those of 
you who haven't gotten around to buying one yet.
& I know it's supposed to be played in Drop Db & all that, but this is to make 
things a bit easier for people.
Now, I'd play this in all 5th chords [or lazy barre chords] because it sounds better that way.

Intro.

  Bbm 

e|-1--1---1
B|-2------2
G|-3----1-3
D|-3------3          
A|-1------1
E|-x------x

  F#
E|-2-2---1
B|-2-----2
G|-3--1--3
D|-4-----3
A|-4-----1
E|-2-----x

Repeat this pattern for the first verse to mimick the piano sound, improvise 
around the picked notes, see what you like to play.


Verse 1:
Bbm                                  
Took a bite out of a mountain range,
F#
thought my teeth'd break, the mountain did.
Bbm                     
Let's go, I want to go, 
F#
all the way to the horizon.

Bb5                                   F5
I took a drink out of the ocean and
F#5                                   C#5
I'm treading water there before I drown.
Bb5                      F5
Let's dive, I wanna dive,
F#5                        C#5
To the bottom of the ocean.

Ab5
I took a ride, I took a ride,
           Bb5                  C#5
I wouldn't go there without you.
Ab5
Let's take a ride, we'll take a ride,
          Bb5                        C5
I wouldn't leave here without you.

Chorus 1:
C#5            C5 C#5          C5  Bb5
I am a mountain. I am the sea.
Bb5                              C5
You can't take that away from me.
C#5            C5 C#5         C5 Bb5
I am a mountain. I am the sea.

You can't take that away from me.


Ab5 Bb5            F#5
'Cos you tear us apart
             C#5           Ab5
With all the things you don't like.
    Bb5        F#5
You can't understand 
    C#5       Ab5
That I won't leave,
     Bb5           F#5
'Til we're finished here,
               Ab5
And then you'll find out,
Bb5              F#5    C#5
Where it all went wrong.

Verse 2: [Same as First Verse]

I wrote a note to the jungle and
They wrote me back that I was never crowned,
King of the jungle so,
There's an end to my horizon.

I took a ride, I took a ride,
I wouldn't go there without you.
Let's take a ride, we'll take a ride,
I wouldn't leave here without you.

I am a mountain. I am the sea.

             C#5           Ab5
With all the things you don't like.
    Bb5        F#5
You can't understand 
    C#5       Ab5
That I won't leave,
     Bb5           F#5
'Til we're finished here,
               Ab5
And then you'll find out,

Where it all went wrong.
