These are the chords for She Came From The Mountains by Johnny Cash on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

[Verse 1]
D                 Em        
She came from the mountains 
      A               D
Rocky Mountains eagle-high
                     Em        
She\'s from where the mountains 
A              D
lean up to the sky
                         Em      
Now she\'s back among the Rockies 
      A                 D
where mountain thunders cry
                          Em        
Now the wind from off the mountains 
A               D
wails a sad goodbye
 D                Em        
Once in Colorado Springs at 
        A               D
the foot of old Pike\'s Peak
                       Em   
I met a Rocky Mountain girl 
   A                     D
to my soul her heart let speak
                        Em  
We went to tell her parents 
    A                   D
and an old grandmother said
                        Em       A   
If you\'ll leave these mountains girl 
                          D
you\'ll wish that you were dead
D               Em              
The next day I took her with me 
      A            D
to my far-off Iowa home
                         Em    
Way out on the flatlands where 
    A                    D
the mountain winds don\'t moan
                          Em    
Each footstep we took was happy 
    A                   D
or at least it shoudn\'t been
                      Em           
But I would find her listening for 
 A                      D
that same lone mountain wind

[Chorus]
D                 Em        
She came from the mountains 
      A               D
Rocky Mountains eagle-high
                     Em        
She\'s from where the mountains 
      A        D
lean up to the sky
                         Em      
Now she\'s back among the Rockies 
      A                 D
where mountain thunders cry
                          Em        
Now the wind from off the mountains 
A               D
wails a sad goodbye

[Verse 2]
D                  Em              
Months passed as fast as antelopes 
    A                     D
until one fatal dismal dawn
                             Em   
I walked to see morning sun shine 
      A               D
down on where she was gone
                             Em  
I\'d known that lately she\'d been 
     A                       D
sad women sometimes get that way
                             Em
I hadn\'t guessed how much was 
            A          D
wrong until that fatal day
 D                Em            
She had left the weeping letter 
       A                D
homesick with mountain names
                           Em    
She was somewhere in the Rockies 
    A                  D
and I knew I\'d been to blame
                           Em
So now in Colorado Springs I 
      A              D
wait near old Pike\'s Peak
                           Em
Where once I met a mountain 
         A               D
girl that mountain girl I seek

D                 Em        
She came from the mountains 
      A               D
Rocky Mountains eagle-high
                     Em        
She\'s from where the mountains 
A              D
lean up to the sky
                         Em      
Now she\'s back among the Rockies

Now the wind from off the mountains 
A               D
wails a sad goodbye
