[Verse]
       G          C            G          C
I got nothing to prove, I got nothing to sell
         G                  C            G          C
I’m not buying what you’ve got, I ain’t ringing no bells
         G          C             G            C
I got a myth in my pocket, got a bullet in my teeth
           G               C               G                C
I’m going straight in the fire, I’m gonna talk to the high priest
 
 G            C      G           C
Used to be a lover, queen and a drifter
   G      C        G          C
A cowboy devil, a bride in a box, and
   G             C                G        C
A pilgrim and a thief, but it was me underneath
        G            C              G           C
I just know who I’m not and that’s alright with me
   G    C    G    C
Alright,  alright
 
 
[Chorus]
 D                               G
Can’t tell me nothing babe, and that’s a fact
C
I have been to the mountain and back,
 
    G  C  G  C  G  C  G  C
Oh yeah
 
 
[Verse]
         G          C            G             C
Well, I wish I was God, but I’m glad that I’m not
          G         C            G         C
‘Cause I think too much, got my head in a knot
     G          C            G         C
The world’s on fire, better save your brother
 G           C         G           C
I’ve been a child and I’ve been a mother
 
 G           C          G          C
I’ve been a victim and I’ve been a tumor
 G               C                G        C
Used to be your waitress but now I’m a consumer
 G            C                      G        C
I’ve been on food stamps, I’ve been outta my mind
     G               C                    G        C
I’m rolled in dirty dollars, stood in the welfare line
 
 
[Chorus}
 D                             G
I’ve been a number, I’ve been under attack
C
I have been to the mountain and back
 
   G   C  G  C
Alright,
   G   C  G  C
Alright
 
 
[Verse]
 G           C         G           C
I’ve been a dancer, a saint, an assassin
 G           C         G            C
I’ve been a nobody, a truck driver shaman
G        C            G           C
So many seasons that I’ve been adrift
 G           C           G      C
Sometimes I wonder if I even exist
 
 
[Break]
G                 C                  
Do you ever walk down the street and 
G                    C
do you think to yourself
            G            C                G     C
Am I being watched, man man? Am I on the list? Well
 G                      C                 G     
I've been called every name in the book, honey, 
        C
go on, take your best shot
 G              C                    G   
Take your best shot, take your best shot 
          C
I got my back to remind me
 G         C             G              C
Aim at my heart, go on, take your best shot, now
 
G       C         G         C
I am a hunter and I am the hunted
G C     G         C
I am a baby, I’m wanted
 G                 C              G             C
I’m an alchemist, teacher, I’m a sinner, I’m a preacher
       G                 C              G
And I know that there’s more here than this
           C                     G                   C
As I stare in the bottom of the black mountain like you you
 
   G              C   G            C       
I know this scent of death like a perfume, 
          G
no, this ain’t the end
 C              G                   C   
This ain’t the end, this ain’t the end, 
                G
this ain’t the end the end
 C         G              C    
Ooh, take off your tired eyes, 
   G              C
undress your goodbyes ’cause

G       C           G      C

G       C           G      C
I have been to the mountain
G       C           G            C
I have been to the mountain and back
 
   G  C
Alriiight
   G   C
Alright
