On the first of May it's a moving day 
Bm7                Em7       A7    Dmaj7       Gmaj7    C#m7   F#7   
Spring is here, so blow your job - throw your job   away   
D                 Em7   A7            D  
Now's the time to trust to your wanderlust.  
F#m7   B7     Em7             D        Bm7   Am7      D7   
In the city's dust you wait - must you wait? Just you wait; 

Refrain 
G  Em7 Am7      D7       G     Em7 Am7        D7   
In a   mountain greenery where God paints the scenery  
G    Em7 A7             Am7    D7   
just two crazy people together.   
G     Em7 Am7       D          G     Em7   Am7     D    
While you love your lover, let blues skies be your coverlet.  
G    Em7 A7                       Am7     D7    
When it  rains we'll laugh at the weather.   
    G7        C6   Dm7     G7         C6   
And if you're good    I'll search for wood  
Dm7    G7      Em7  A7               Am7 D7  
   so  you can cook    while I stand looking.  
G     Em7   Am7    D        G  Em7  Am7  D    
Beans could get no keener reception in a beanery.

Simple cooking means more than French cuisines  
Bm7            Em7           A7 Dmaj7    Gmaj7      C#m7   F#7   
I've a banquet planned which is sandwiches and beans    
D                Em7   A7            D   
Coffee's just as grand with a little sand  
F#m7    B7          Em7          D      Bm7   Am7  D7    
Eat and you'll grow fatter boys'matter boy?  Atta boy!

G                  D                G         D         G   
When the world was young Old Father Adam with sin would grapple  
           D                  D7                G     C          G   D   
So we're entitled to just one apple   I mean to make apple sauce   
G              D                  G           D      G    
Underneath the bough We'll take a lesson from Mister Omar  
            D                 D7                 G      C       G     
beneath the eyes on no Pa and no Ma Where Mother Nature is boss  
F#m             Em              F#m            Em  
Washing dishes, Catching fishes by the running stream  
F#m                      Em         Am7           D   
We'll curse the smell of citronella even while we dream.  
     G             D                  G         D      G    
Your head upon the ground, your downy pillow is just a boulder  
                D                 D7                G       C         G     
You'll have new dimples 'fore I'm older but life is peaches and cream

In a   mountain greenery where God paints the scenery  
G    Em7 A7             Am7    D7   
just two crazy people together.   
G   Em7 Am7    D          G     Em7 Am7     D7   
How we  love sequestering where no pests are pestering  
G  Em7  A7                Am7     D7   
No dear ma-ma holds us in tether.   
   G7      C6   Dm7     G7        C6   
Mosquitoes here   won't bite you, dear  
Dm7     G7       Em7   A7        Am7 D7  
   I'll let them sting  me on my finger  
G  Em7   Am7     D         G     Em7  Am7      D    
We could find no cleaner retreat from life's machinery  
G    Em7 Am7      D         G     Em7 Am7        D   
Than our mountain greenery  where God paints the scenery
