Intro: A augmentedA

 A augmentedA         Amaj7Amaj7 A7A7       D MajorD
I came here from the city a thousand miles away.
 DmDm       A/EA/E           Bm7Bm7      E MajorE
I came just for a little while you know I never meant to stay.
 A augmentedA        Amaj7Amaj7      A7A7        D MajorD
I meant to take my pleasure, have a good time and be gone.
   DmDm         A/EA/E     Bm7Bm7  E MajorE    A augmentedA
But I fell in love with a lady, now I sing a mountain song.

 A augmentedA        Amaj7Amaj7    A7A7        D MajorD
I listened to the music of the night wind in the pines.
   DmDm       A/EA/E      Bm7Bm7      E MajorE
I've seen the quiet splendor of a field of columbine.
 A augmentedA        Amaj7Amaj7     A7A7        D MajorD
I skied on crystal pathways to a mountain peak so tall,
   DmDm        A/EA/E       Bm7Bm7       E MajorE
and I walked the mighty summits with the one who made it all.

   D MajorD          E MajorE        C#m7C#m7      F# minorF#m
And I fell in love with a lady 'cause I've seen her at her best.
     Bm7Bm7         E MajorE            A augmentedA     A7A7
And I've walked her wild and rugged paths through her open wilderness.
     D MajorD      E MajorE          C#m7C#m7     F# minorF#m
And now I never can betray her, steal her riches and be gone,
        Bm7Bm7         E MajorE        Bm7Bm7  E MajorE    A augmentedA
'Cause when you fall in love with a lady, you gotta sing a mountain song.

Amaj7Amaj7  A7A7  D MajorD  DmDm  A/EA/E  E MajorE  E MajorE

  A augmentedA        Amaj7Amaj7     A7A7        D MajorD
Now people come from everywhere to see what they can find.
  DmDm        A/EA/E      Bm7Bm7         E MajorE
And some take lots of pictures, and some just take their time.
       A augmentedA         Amaj7Amaj7    A7A7         D MajorD
But there are some who take her beauty that can't be bought or sold
     DmDm      A/EA/E     Bm7Bm7        E MajorE
And they think of only money while destroying wealth untold.

    D MajorD          E MajorE        C#m7C#m7      F# minorF#m
But you fall in love with a lady when you've slept upon her breast,
      Bm7Bm7         E MajorE            A augmentedA     A7A7
and you've walked her wild and rugged paths through her open wilderness
    D MajorD      E MajorE          C#m7C#m7     F# minorF#m
And you never can betray her, steal her riches and be gone.
        Bm7Bm7         E MajorE        Bm7Bm7  E MajorE    A augmentedA
'Cause when you fall in love with a lady, you gotta sing a mountain song.
