SUGAR MOUNTAIN chromatic
By: Neil Young
Key: D

-3  -4  -3  -2* 3  -3   3   2
Oh, to live on Sug-ar Moun-tain
 -3  -3   -3  -3
With the bark-ers 
-3  -3  -4   -3   3    3
and the col-ored bal-loons,
-2*  -3   -4  -3 -2* 3   3  -3   3   2
You can't be twen-ty on Sug-ar Moun-tain
   2     -1     2   -1    2
Though you're think-ing that
  -1     2  -1    2   -2*  -2*
you're leav-ing there too soon,
  2      2  -1    2   -3   -2*
You're leav-ing there too soon.

 -1  2  -2* -2*-2*-2*  3
It's so nois-y at the fair
 3  -3   3     -2*    2   -2*
But all your friends are there
-1   2  -2* -2* -2*  -2*  3  
And the can-dy floss you had
 3    3   -3  3  -2*  2   -2*
And your moth-er and your dad.


Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you're thinking that
you're leaving there too soon,
You're leaving there too soon.

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.

Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you're thinking that
you're leaving there too soon,
You're leaving there too soon.

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.

Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you're thinking that
you're leaving there too soon,
You're leaving there too soon.

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?

Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you're thinking that
you're leaving there too soon,
You're leaving there too soon.

Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
with the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you're thinking that
you're leaving there too soon,
You're leaving there too soon.a
