Dan Fogelberg - Nether Lands
Intro: C Bb C Bb C Bb Am Bb C Bb C Bb C Bb Ab Bb C
D7
High on this mountain, the clouds down below
C D7
I'm feeling so strong and alive
C D7
From this rocky perch, I'll continue to search
C D7
For the wind and the snow and the sky
Bm Em7
Oh, I want a lover and I want some friends
Bm Em
And I want to live in the sun
Bm Dm C D C D
And I want to do all the things that I never have done
C D7
Sunny bright mornings and pale moonlit nights
C D7
Keep me from feeling alone
C D7
Now I'm learning to fly and this freedom is like
C D7
Nothing that I've ever known
Bm Em7
Oh, I've seen the bottom and I've been on top
Bm Em
But mostly I've lived in between
Bm Dm C D C D C D C D
And where do you go when you get to the end of your dream
C D7
Off in the Nether Lands I heard the sound
C D7
Like the beating of heavenly wings
C D7
And deep in my brain I can hear a refrain
C D7
Of my soul as she rises and sings
Bm Em7
Anthems to glory and anthems to love
Bm Em
And hymns filled with earthly delight
Bm Dm C
Like the songs that the darkness composes to worship the light
Instrumental:
C D7
Once in a vision I came on some woods
C D7
And stood at a fork in the road
C D7
My choices were clear yet I froze with the fear
C D7
Of not knowing which way to go
Bm Em7
Oh, one road was simple acceptance of life
Bm Em
The other road offered sweet peace
Bm Dm C D C D
When I made my decision, my vision became my release
OUTRO: Bm Em Am D C Bb C Bb C Bb Am Ab C G C
