The Kinks - Mountain Woman: chords

      A
They lived together in a dirty old shack
       E                        A
At the edge of the black rocky mountain
A
And they drank mountain dew and they
lived on the food
            E                      A
That they grew at the side of the mountain

Chorus:
D7                     A
She's a mountain woman, he's her mountain man
E                             A
Lived all their lives by the valley
D7                     A
She's a mountain woman, he's her mountain man
E                           D A
Uneducated but they're happy

Mountain woman couldn't read nor write
But she knew good from evil,
she know wrong from right
When the government tried to buy her water rights
Her intuition was her only guide

Chorus

  D                 A
Spend my life with my mountain woman
      E                    D   A
We're uneducated by we're happy

     E                     B
The civil servant used compulsory purchase
       D                             A
To acquire the valley for the nation
         E                              B
They'll dig up the land, they're gonna make a dam
             D                         A
And build a hydroelectric power station

And now she lives on the 33rd floor
Of a man-made concrete mountain
She got an elevator and refrigerator
And an automobile to run around in

Chorus:
Fast talkin' lawyers from the government
Wouldn't beat proud mountain woman down
Hey mountain woman, take your mountain man
They took your land and flood your valley

Spend my life with my mountain woman
They're uneducated by they're happy
