Intro: A A Amaj7 A7 D I came here from the city a thousand miles away. Dm A/E Bm7 E I came just for a little while you know I never meant to stay. A Amaj7 A7 D I meant to take my pleasure, have a good time and be gone. Dm A/E Bm7 E A But I fell in love with a lady, now I sing a mountain song. A Amaj7 A7 D I listened to the music of the night wind in the pines. Dm A/E Bm7 E I've seen the quiet splendor of a field of columbine. A Amaj7 A7 D I skied on crystal pathways to a mountain peak so tall, Dm A/E Bm7 E and I walked the mighty summits with the one who made it all. D E C#m7 F#m And I fell in love with a lady 'cause I've seen her at her best. Bm7 E A A7 And I've walked her wild and rugged paths through her open wilderness. D E C#m7 F#m And now I never can betray her, steal her riches and be gone, Bm7 E Bm7 E A 'Cause when you fall in love with a lady, you gotta sing a mountain song. Amaj7 A7 D Dm A/E E E A Amaj7 A7 D Now people come from everywhere to see what they can find. Dm A/E Bm7 E And some take lots of pictures, and some just take their time. A Amaj7 A7 D But there are some who take her beauty that can't be bought or sold Dm A/E Bm7 E And they think of only money while destroying wealth untold. D E C#m7 F#m But you fall in love with a lady when you've slept upon her breast, Bm7 E A A7 and you've walked her wild and rugged paths through her open wilderness D E C#m7 F#m And you never can betray her, steal her riches and be gone. Bm7 E Bm7 E A 'Cause when you fall in love with a lady, you gotta sing a mountain song. Repeat chords for verses (not first verse) and fade
