Mountains Chords & Lyrics by Biffy Clyro
Mountains
guitar chords lyrics
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.

I'm treading water there before I drown.

Let's dive, I wanna dive,
F#5 C#5
To the bottom of the ocean.

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,

I wouldn't leave here without you.
