lyrics
Capo 4
G D/F# Em
V1: There's snow up on the mountain again today.
Am G D
The road is closed but a walk up there will transport you away
G D/F# Em
To a time when people understood their place.
Am G D
When a mountain was a mountain, not a potential business case.
G D/F# Em
V2: A cable car up there’s a bad idea
Am G D
The wind alone would close it down for several weeks a year
G D/F# Em
The back room deal to let the drilling start
Am G D
Was never signed or sighted on the muwinina’s part
Em Am
P-C: It'll clog up cascade road and turn the sky into a scar
Em D
The whole thing’s been corrupted so we'll shout to near and far
Chorus
G D Em
She’s not your mountain, Mr Bold
C G D
We won't let her forest green fill your pockets up with gold
G D Em
Kunanyi is a land sacred and old
C D Em
How dare you? How dare you, Mr Bold?
Am D G
She’s not your mountain, Mr Bold?
G D/F# Em
V3: Her wild and windy paths are not for sale
Am G D
Their winding ways were fashioned from the paddymelon's tail.
G D/F# Em
Your cable car has no place on her hills
Am G D
With it's towers and it's flying busses and advertising bills
Em Am
P-C: The wind and sleet and snow up there will stop it in its tracks
Em D
We must respect kunanyi not let rich men scratch their backs
Chorus
G D Em
She’s not your mountain, Mr Bold
C G D
We won't let her forest green fill your pockets up with gold
G D Em
Kunanyi is a land sacred and old
C D Em
How dare you? How dare you, Mr Bold?
Am D G
She’s not your mountain, Mr Bold?
Am
Bridge: Next stop Old Farm Road
C
Next stop myrtle gully falls
Am
Next stop the pipeline track
Next stop the Chalet
C
Next stop Rocky Whelan’s Cave
Am
Next stop the Lost World
C
Next stop Sama Hut
Next stop the Organ Pipes
Am D
They’ll make it to the top unless we stand to make them stop.
Chorus
G D Em
She’s not your mountain, Mr Bold
C G D
We won't let her forest green fill your pockets up with gold
G D Em
Kunanyi is a land sacred and old
C D Em
How dare you? How dare you, Mr Bold?
Am D G
She’s not your mountain, Mr Bold?
