Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain,
G                        F
with the barkers and the colored balloons
G                   F
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain,
Dm                                                   G

you're leaving there too soon.

G                    F
It's so noisy at the fair, 
                         G
but all your friends are there
                        F
And the candy floss you had,
                         G
and your mother and your dad.

G              F

you're leaving there too soon.

There's a girl just down the aisle,

oh, to turn and see her smile.
                           F
You can hear the words she wrote,
                       G
as you read the hidden note.

Now you're underneath the stairs, 
                            G
and you're giving back some glares
                      F
To the people who you met,
                        G   
and it's your first cigarette.
