GHOST MICE - SWITZERLAND CHORDS

Tuning: E A D G B E

Next up is the always-neutral country of Switzerland, where our intrepid heroes climb a mountain and, in a spiritual awakening on its summit, forsake their normal ambrosia of sliced, fried potatoes and give legumes a shot instead. They also encounter and photograph a bunch of baby sheep, one of which is used as the cover art for the album. USED CHORDS: A E B GHOST MICE: EUROPE "Switzerland" E - A - B

Looking ^Eout the foggy window of the train it seemed insane, The rain was ^Acomin' down so fast it couldn't make it in the drains And all the ^Broads had turned to ^Arivers and the ^Bstairs to water^Afalls.

All the ^Bbuildings in ^AZurich had great graff^Biti on their ^Awalls We only ^Esaw it for a second when the ^Alightning bolts would ^Estrike ^EThe city had no power; there was a ^Amonster in the sky blocking ^Bout the sun^Alight It was ^Bhard to tell whether ^Ait was ^Bday or ^Enight

When our ^Btrain pulled into the ^Astation, we were ^Bhappy just to be ^Aalive We had ^Bmade it on time and the ^Astorm had surrendered We ^Bset up our tent in the ^Avictorious sunlight And we ^Ewalked into town and we ^Alooked around We ^Bstared through the windows at ^ASwiss army knives

We were ^Ein a deep valley in the ^Amiddle of two lakes With the ^Bmighty mystic mountains rising ^Aup on each side And we ^Aslept that night and we ^Bdreamed about the ^Eclimb that we were gonna ^Amake Cause ^Alife's not about the ^Bstuff that you have; it's ^Emore about the chances you take ^EIt's more about the ^Bchances you ^Etake.

We bought ^Etwo cans of ^Bbeans, one for ^Ayou and one for ^Eme, And a ^Bbag of peanuts too then we ^Alaced up our ^Eboots We hiked up the ^Bhills passing ^Aponies on the ^Eway Stoppin', reachin' ^Bthrough the fence to ^Afeed them some ^Ehay

^ENow the trees grew so ^Bthick that we ^Acouldn't see their ^Etops ^EAs we twisted like the ^Broots through the ^Arocks and the ^Emoss ^EComing down around the ^Bcorner came a ^Aherd of baby ^Elambs ^EI swear I took at ^Bleast a hundred ^Apictures of ^Ethem

When we ^Bmade it out of the trees and back ^Ainto the light We could ^Bsee we were gettin' pretty ^Aclose to the sky Under our ^Bfeet perfect ^Ablue, pink, and white Were the ^Bsmallest, sweetest ^Aedelweiss

And ^EGandalf would have been a great ^Bguide As the ^Etrail we were ^Btrusting ^Ahugged the mountainside ^EDeep down below in the ^Bice and the snow The ^Ariver cut a gorge through the ^Erock like a knife

^EAnd we could see the spot where the ^Bgiant pushed his ^Afeet into the ^Estone ^EAnd kept the mountain from ^Bfallin', ^Asaving the village ^Ebelow ^EAnd the crows, ^Bthe crows, ^Acame to say hello They ^Elaughed at you and ^Bme; they said we were way too ^Eslow ^EThe crows, ^Athe crows, without ^Aeffort, sank and ^Erose ^EThey laughed at you and ^Bme ^BThey sang that ^Awe should have ^Eflown

When we got up to the top we had to stop cause there was nowhere left to go And so we ate our beans and we shared our nuts with those big black braggin' crows We smashed our cans, we put on our packs, and started back on our way home I liked goin' up better than comin' down but everything comes back down, you know

Yeah, the ^Esun, the ^Bsun will ^Amelt away the snow, And the ^Erivers, the ^Brivers will ^Aflow, the ^Ecrows, the ^Bcrows, will sing to^Agether and ^Ealone ^EThis whole ^Bworld is our ^Ahome. They said ^Emake this ^Bworld your ^Ahome.
