[INTRO:] C  Gsus2  Eb/G  Gsus2
 
[VERSE 1:]
       C
All is well, I've made my peace where highways never end 
                        Dm            G
Yesterday's a memory, today is just a friend 
        C             F           D           G
For the mountains and Maryann are calling me again 
        C              F         C
And the red pines will bow their heads 
                   F    C
The rivers and the watersheds 
     D             G             C
Will swallow up my tears, all is well
 
 
[VERSE 2:]
 
I left the cold mid-western towns behind
                                       Dm             G
There's a semi up the road ahead, I'll take him in my time 
        C           F                D           G
For the hot blooded mountain love is calling me again 
        C            F     C
And the vagabond within me cries
                        F       C
The wind and rain might burn my eyes 
    D                G
But I won't feel the pain 
 
 
[CHORUS:]
        C             F   C
For the mountains and Maryann 
                       F            Gsus4   Gsus2  Eb/G  Gsus2
Will greet me there as only she can do
 
 
[VERSE 3:]
       C
All is well, as I swing up to the border bent for hell 
                                      Dm              G
And the service station man agreed, I didn't look too well 
        C             F           D              G
But the mountains and Maryann are calling out to me 
      C               F
And I got my bed roll on my back
    C                 F     C
And everything that I could pack 
   D            G           C
To see me on my way, all is well
 
 
[VERSE 4:]
 
I've made my peace and man I'm feeling fine
                                       Dm                     G
And the losers that I left behind I'll think about some other time 
        C               F                    D               G
For the border men were all my friends, they couldn't find a dime 
        C                F       C
And the prairie towns go sailing by
                      F           C
Saskatchewan, there's mud in your eye 
    D             G
I'm leaving you behind 
 
 
[VERSE 5:]
            C           F                D          G
There'll be hot blooded mountain love to satisfy my soul 
        C              F         C
And the red pines will bow their heads 
                   F    C
The rivers and the watersheds 
     D         G
Will carry us along 
 
 
[CHORUS:]
 
        C             F   C
For the mountains and Maryann 
                       F            Gsus4   Gsus2  Eb/G  Gsus2
Will greet me there as only she can do
 
 
[VERSE :]
       C
All is well, the foothills are coming into sight 
                            Dm          G
Today is just a memory, the future is tonight 
        C              F         C
And the red pines will bow their heads 
                   F    C
The rivers and the watersheds 
     D         G
Will carry us along 
 
 
[CHORUS:]
        C             F   C
And the mountains and Maryann 
                       F            Gsus4   Gsus2  Eb/G  Gsus2  C
Will greet me there as only she can do
