Mountains O Things

{title:Mountains O' Things}

{st:Tracy Chapman}

[Am],---------- [Dm],---------- [F]---------- and [G].

The life I've always wanted

I guess I'll never have

I'll be working for somebody else

Until I'm in my grave

I'll be dreaming of life of ease

And mountains o' things

To have a big expensive car

Drag my furs on the ground

And have a maid that I can tell

To bring me anything

Everyone will look at me with envy and with greed

I'll revel in their attention

And mountains

Oh mountains o' things

To have

Sweet lazy life

Champagne and caviar

I hope you'll come and find me

Cause you know who we are

Those who deserve the best in life

And know what money's worth

And those whose sole misfortune

Was having mountains o' nothing at birth

Oh they tell me

There's still time to save my soul

They tell me

Renounce all

Renounce all tose material things you gained by

Exploiting other human beings

Consume more than you need

This is the dream

Make you pauper

Or make you queen

I won't die lonely

I'll have it all prearranged

A grave that's deep and wide enough

For me and all my mountains o' things

Mostly I feel lonely

Good good people are

Good people are only

My stepping stones

It's gonna take all my mountains o' things

To surround me

Keep all my enemies away

Keep my sadness and loneliness at bay

I'll be dreaming, dreaming, dreaming..

Dreaming...
