Sugar Mountain  by Neil Young

F(add9)  x-x-3-2-1-3

[Chorus]

G            F(add9)
Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
G                         F(add9)
with the barkers and the colored balloons,
G                  F(add9)
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Dm                                                G
tho' you're thinkin' that you're leavin' there too soon,
Dm                      G
you're leavin' there too soon.


[Verse]

                     F
It's so noisy at the fair
                         G
but all your friends are there
                        F
And the candy floss you had
                         G
and your mother and your dad.

 

[Chorus]

G            F(add9)

Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain

G                         F(add9)

with the barkers and the colored balloons,

G                  F(add9)

You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain

Dm                                                G

tho' you're thinkin' that you're leavin' there too soon,

Dm                      G

you're leavin' there too soon.

[Verse]

 

                             F

There's a girl just down the aisle,

                        G

oh, to turn and see her smile.

                           F

You can hear the words she wrote

                       G

as you read the hidden note.

 

 

[Chorus]

 

G            F(add9)

Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain

G                         F(add9)

with the barkers and the colored balloons,

G                  F(add9)

You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain

Dm                                                G

tho' you're thinkin' that you're leavin' there too soon,

Dm                      G

you're leavin' there too soon.

[Verse]

 

                          F

Now you're underneath the stairs

                            G

and you're givin' back some glares

                      F

To the people who you met

                    G

and it's your first cigarette.

 

 

[Chorus]

 

G            F(add9)

Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain

G                         F(add9)

You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain

Dm                      G

you're leavin' there too soon.

 

 

[Verse]

 

                           F

Now you say you're leavin' home

                      G

'cause you want to be alone.

                       F

Ain't it funny how you feel

                             G

When you're findin' out it's real?

 

 

[Chorus]

 

G            F(add9)

Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain

G                         F(add9)

with the barkers and the colored balloons,

G                  F(add9)

You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain

Dm                                                G

tho' you're thinkin' that you're leavin' there too soon,

you're leavin' there too soon.
