VERSE 1

[G] [C6] [Am7] [D] [G]

On the first of May it's a moving day;

[Bm7] [Em7] [A7] [Dmaj7] [Gmaj7] [C#m7] [F#7]

Spring is here, so blow your job - throw your job away

[D] [Em7] [A7] [D]

Now's the time to trust to your wanderlust.

[F#m7] [B7] [Em7] [D] [Bm7] [Am7] [D7]

In the city's dust you wait - must you wait? Just you wait;

CHORUS 1

[G] [Em7] [Am7] [D7] [G] [Em7] [Am7] [D7]

In a mountain greenery where God paints the scenery

[G] [Em7] [A7] [Am7] [D7]

just two crazy people together.

[G] [Em7] [Am7] [D] [G] [Em7] [Am7] [D]

While you love your lover, let blues skies be your coverlet.

[G] [Em7] [A7] [Am7] [D7]

When it rains we'll laugh at the weather.

[G7] [C6] [Dm7] [G7] [C6]

And if you're good I'll search for wood

[Dm7] [G7] [Em7] [A7] [Am7] [D7]

so you can cook while I stand looking.

[G] [Em7] [Am7] [D] [G] [Em7] [Am7] [D]

Beans could get no keener reception in a beanery.

[G] [Em7] [Am7] [D] [G] [Em7] [Am7] [D7]

Bless our Mountain Greenery home!

VERSE 2

[G] [C6] [Am7] [D7] [G]

Simple cooking means more than French cuisines

[Bm7] [Em7] [A7] [Dmaj7] [Gmaj7] [C#m7] [F#7]

I've a banquet planned which is sandwi-ches and beans

[D] [Em7] [A7] [D]

Coffee's just as grand with a little sand

[F#m7] [B7] [Em7] [D] [Bm7] [Am7] [D7]

Eat and you'll grow fatter boy – s'matter boy? Atta boy!

INTERLUDE

[G] [D] [G] [D] [G]

When the world was young Old Father Adam with sin would grapple

[D] [D7] [G] [C] [G] [D]

So we're entitled to just one apple - I mean to make apple sauce

[G] [D] [G] [D] [G]

Underneath the bough We'll take a lesson from Mister Omar

[D] [D7] [G] [C] [G]

beneath the eyes on no Pa and no Ma Where Mother Nature is boss

[F#m] [Em] [F#m] [Em]

Washing dishes, Catching fishes by the running stream

[F#m] [Em] [Am7] [D]

We'll curse the smell of citronella even while we dream.

[G] [D] [G] [D] [G]

Your head upon the ground, your downy pillow is just a boulder

[D] [D7] [G] [C] [G]

You'll have new dimples 'fore I'm older but life is peaches and cream

CHORUS 2

[G] [Em7] [Am7] [D] [G] [Em7] [Am7] [D]

In a mountain greenery where God paints the scenery

[G] [Em7] [A7] [Am7] [D7]

just two crazy people together.

[G] [Em7] [Am7] [D] [G] [Em7] [Am7] [D7]

How we love sequestering where no pests are pestering

[G] [Em7] [A7] [Am7] [D7]

No dear ma-ma holds us in tether.

[G7] [C6] [Dm7] [G7] [C6]

Mosquitoes here won't bite you, dear

[Dm7] [G7] [Em7] [A7] [Am7] [D7]

I'll let them sting me on my fin-ger

[G] [Em7] [Am7] [D] [G] [Em7] [Am7] [D]

We could find no cleaner retreat from life's machinery

[G] [Em7] [Am7] [D] [G] [Em7] [Am7] [D]

Than our mountain greenery where God paints the scenery

[G] [Em7] [Am7] [D7] [G] [Gmaj7]

Bless our mountain greenery home
