Sugar Mountain by Neil Young
Chorus:
Oh to live on, Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the coloured baloons.
You can't be twenty, on Sugar Mountain
'tho you thinkin' that you're leavin' there too soon
you're leavin' there too soon…
Verse:
F ~~~~~~~ Bb ~~~~~~~~~~ F~~~~~~~
It's so noisy at the fair, but all your friends are there
F ~~~~~~~ Bb ~~~~~~~~~~ F~~~~~~~
And the candy floss you had, and your mother and your dad
Chorus:
Oh to live on, Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the coloured baloons.
You can't be twenty, on Sugar Mountain
'tho you thinkin' that you're leavin' there too soon
you're leavin' there too soon…
Verse:
There's a girl just down the aisle, oh, to turn and see her smile.
You can hear the words she wrote, as you read the hidden note.
Chorus
Oh to live on, Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the coloured baloons.
You can't be twenty, on Sugar Mountain
'tho you thinkin' that you're leavin' there too soon
you're leavin' there too soon…
Verse:
Now you're underneath the stairs, and you're givin' back some glares
To the people who you met, and it's your first cigarette.
Chorus:
Oh to live on, Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the coloured baloons.
You can't be twenty, on Sugar Mountain
'tho you thinkin' that you're leavin' there too soon
you're leavin' there too soon…
Verse:
Now you say you're leavin' home, 'cause you want to be alone.
Ain't it funny how you feel, when you're findin' out it's real?
