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                  A7
Wondering who it was that took the stones from the mountain and built this 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              A7
Could you really get much higher than standing in the doorway with a glass of 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.
