Lyrics:
Over Mountains
That's where my love lives
A long, long ride to sunland
Here where I did this
Across the great divide
Alone (wondering open afraid and)
Arriving alive unknown (unknown unwise and unaided)
If I could I might
Send my love on a plane ride
A black cross high in a blue sky
A green cross gliding on a million pines
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES:
I'm not positive on the verse, but the rest is probably right. (send me any corrections)
Any ideas on the solo?
Any one want to help tab out the whole album?
If you have ANY other Semisonic tab, please email it to me.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SEMISONIC tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
