Introdução: C
F
Talking with good friends
C G7
And walking the streets of rough-cut stone
C
She was once a miner's city
F C
Now the ghost of a dying town, but there's a fire
G7 C
Burning bright in old Jerome
Am Em
Some have come for fortune, some have come for love
F C G7
And some have come for the things they cannot see
C
Now the grass is green and growing
F C
Where the gardens once had died and the birds sing
G7 C G7 C
In the young Ailanthus trees
And they say that once you live here
F
You'll never really go
C G7
'Cause she'll have a hold on you until you die
C
With her ground moving crazy
F C
Her fierce wind blowing free and her ruins
G7 C
Standing proud against the sky
Am Em
Houses cling to mountains like miners cling to dreams
F C G7
They hold on so long and then they just let go
C
And this mountain she's your mistress
F C
You'll ride her 'til you fall and wash down
G7 C
To the valley far below
Am F
There are stories they tell on Cleopatra
C G7
There are stories that never can be told
Am F C Am
The wind and the rain sing their mountain lullaby
G G7 C
The copper shines like Arizona gold
Am F C G7 C
And her walls stand strong and silent
F
Staring out with empty eyes
C G7
Like beggars blind and lame that do no harm
C
With their empty rooms that hold
F C
The old town's memories and their doorways
G7 C
That reach out like empty arms
Am Em
In the streets the children play, climbing up the crooked stairs
F C G7
And lovers touch and turn to go back home
C
And the sounds of hammers echo
F C
In the once forgotten halls and hope stirs
G7 C
In the heart of old Jerome
Am F
The moon shines bright on Cleopatra
C G7
Where the mines lie sleeping far below
Am F C Am
The wind and the rain sing their mountain lullaby
G G7 C
The copper shines like Arizona gold
