Wolverton Mountain chords by Claude King

[Intro]
D A7 D C


[Verse 1]
            D                       A7
They say don't go on Wolverton Mountain if you're looking for a wife
                                         A7
Cause Clifton Clowers has a pretty young daughter
                              D
He's mighty handy with a gun and a knife


[Chorus]
                    A7
Her tender lips (Her tender lips)
                  D
Are sweeter than honey
              E                   A7
And Wolverton Mountain protects her there
   D                                 A7
The bears and the birds tell Clifton Clowers
                     D
If a stranger should enter there

[Verse 2]
            D                       A7
All of my dreams are on Wolverton Mountain
                   C#m D
I want his daughter for my wife
                                   A7
I'll take my chances and climb that mountain
                                     D
Though Clifton Clowers he might take my life


[Chorus]
                    A7
Her tender lips (Her tender lips)
                           D
Are sweeter than honey
              E                     A7
And Wolverton Mountain protects her there
                         D
The bears and the birds tell Clifton Clowers
                     D
If a stranger should enter there


[Verse 3]
         D#               Bb
I'm going up on Wolverton Mountain
                            D#
It's too lonesome down here below
                                Bb
It's just not right to hide his daughter
                           D#
From the one who loves her so


[Chorus]
                      Bb
Her tender lips (Her tender lips)
                 D#
Are sweeter than honey
              F                      Bb
And Wolverton Mountain protects her there
               D#                   Bb
The bears and the birds tell Clifton Clowers
                            D#
If a stranger should wander there


[Outro]
             Bb
But I don't care about Clifton Clowers
          D#
I'm gonna climb up on his mountain
           Bb
I'm gonna take the girl I love
        D#
I don't care about Clifton Clowers
           Bb
I'm gonna climb up on that mountain
          D#                Bb
