Mountain Valley Home

 
D                               G 
I know the sun is shining on my mountain valley home 
A                                D 
as it does every night in all my dreams 
D                            G 
and yet when I awaken to the white Pacific dawn 
A                                 D 
no one knows just how far away it seems 
 

 
G                                   D 
And though my heart is aching for a single friendly smile 
E                                   A 
and all the pretty geisha girls may turn my head a while 
D                                 G 
the good times I remember are the best I've ever known 
A                              D 
way back in my mountain valley home

D                                         G 
Oh the charm of foreign places, where the sights are always new 
A                                    D 
they dull my heart to loved ones far away 
D                                           G 
though my friends may all forsake me and my sweetheart prove untrue 
A                              D 
I know that I'll be going home someday 
 

 
G                                    D 
And when my heart is burdened by the many miles between 
E                                        A 
I'll think about the mountains and their mantle of bright green 
G                            D 
I'll hear the forest singin' away up there alone 
A                                          D   G D 
where the sun shines on my mountain valley home
