[Intro]
D E9 D A7 (x2)
D E9 G A7
In my country garden, underneath the mountain
D E7 G A7
With the dead-nettles growing all around the door
D E9 G A7
Early every morning the sun grows up the mountain
D E7 G G Bm7 A7 D
Setting in the sea in the evening once more.
D6
Taking water from the brook
D7 D E7 G
Wondering who it was that took the stones from the mountain and built this
A7
cottage here
D E9 G A7
Two up and two down, miles from the nearest town
D E7 G G Bm7 A7 D
I wonder who he was though the reason why is clear
D E9 D A7
D E9 G A7
Take a bunch of nettles and add a little water
D E7 G A7
Drawn from the stream running outside the door
D E9 G A7
Leave it for a month or two then bottle it and drink the brew
D E7 G G Bm7 A7 D
And watch the suns go down in the sea once more.
D6
Taking wood to build a fire
D7 D E7 G
Could you really get much higher than standing in the doorway with a glass of
A7
nettle wine
D E9 G A7
My lady beside me, the mountain behind me
D E7 G G Bm7 A7 D
Before me the sea and the red skyline.
