G
Sundogs barkin', barkin' round my dreams
G
Three ring circus rockin' round the sun
G
The taste of fire and Julia's name
G
Right there on the tip of my tongue
[Refrão]G C
I was on the mountain
C G
And the sun was goin' down
Am C Am C G
All I's wishin' for was Ju-u-u-u-u-lia
I kissed her on the mouth, I looked her in the eye
I's actin' half my age and feelin' way too proud
I drove into the desert, I drove up to the sky
I parked it and I left it just a hangin' on a cloud
Chorus
Bridge:
D Am
Night wind blows
D G
Stars above the blue
D Am
Heaven knows
D G
Only love will do
Accordian solo
Now what's a few miles between the beauty and the beast
What's it mean when angels keep flying by above
Storm clouds gatherin' round the full moon in the east
I was empty-headed but my heart was full of love
Chorus 2:
I was on the mountain
With lightning all around
All I was lookin’ for Ju-u-u-u-u-lia
The more you need her help the more she let's you down
The more you like the way she walks the more she shakes her hips
The more you fall in love with life the more she runs around
The more you fear the kiss of death the more she licks her lips
Chorus 3:
I was on the mountain
There was thunder tumblin' down
All I's listenin' for was Julia
Bridge
Chorus 4:
I was on the mountain
I was never comin' down
All I's thinkin' bout was Julia
All I's thinkin' bout was Julia
