Over The Mountain chords by Mickey Newbury

Over The Mountain

D                        G          D
Over the mountain I will build us a cabin
                         Bm
Over the mountain I will build us a home
      Em                         Bm
We'll sit by the fire won't the juniper smell good
Em               Em7
Over the mountain

D                   G            D
Take me my lady and give me some babies
                         Bm
Share all my burdens and sew on my clothes
Em                        Bm
Life is a fountain we'll drink it bone dry
Em               Em7
Over the mountain

G                       D
April will promise you blossoms my lady
G                           Bm
Creek waters risin' and the mares gonna foal
Em                       Bm
Gather the creatures and bring them on down
Em               Em7
On down the mountain

I will plant us a garden here next to the forest
Dig us a well there with water so pure
Water so pure and as sweet as the sunshine
Over the mountain

I will build us a cabin here in the tall wood
Bottom land cedar and Snake River stone
We will sit by the fire won't the juniper smell good
Over the mountain
