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
