Composed by: Alela Diane
key: Am Tuning: E A D G B E
Dm                    Am                     G
The tops of crags and cliffs, the air is thin
Dm                       Am                   G
So we'll find a mountain path on down the hill
Dm                     Am         G
Meet me where the snow melt flows
Dm                    Am                  G
It is there, my dear, where we'll begin again
Dm  Am   G       Dm   Am  G
Skipping stones, braiding hair
Dm         Am   G    Dm   Am  G
Last year's antlers mark the trail


[Chorus] x2

Dm                Am
Take us back, oh, take us back
G            Dm          Am   G
Oh, take us, take us back

Dm G Am x4
Oooooh...


[Verse]

Dm                          Am            G
I've a friend who lives out by the rivers mouth
Dm                   Am                G
He knows the fiddle's cry is an old sound
Dm                    Am                G
A lonesome bow, the creaks and moans of empty houses
Dm                Am        G
Are songs like falling rain
Dm Am G             Dm Am      G
Windblown buildings, muddy ground
Dm       Am    G     Dm   Am    G
The strength of water can sink a man


[Chorus] x2

Dm                Am
Take us back, oh, take us back
G            Dm   Am   G
Oh, take us, take us back

Dm G Am x4
Oooooh....


[Verse]

Dm              Am                G
When the higher hills have turned blue
Dm                        Am              G
And the waves are lapping where the children grew
Dm               Am               G
All that we have known will be an echo
Dm               Am         G
Of days when love was true
Dm Am G    Dm Am  G
Muted voices just beyond
Dm   Am     G       Dm    Am   G
The silent surface of what has gone
