Going deep South, go down, mmh, yes, 
                        D6/9    
Took six big wheels and rolled our bodies

Off of Howth Head and into the flesh, mmh, yes, 

Am                            D6/9 
He said I was a flower of the mountain, yes,

To where the water and the earth caress

Do I look for those millionaires

Like a Machiavellian girl would 
             D6/9 Cmaj7 D6/9  E 
When I could wear...... a sunset? mmh, yes, 

Am                     D6/9 
And how we'd wished to live in the sensual world 
Am                     D6/9                    E 
You don't need words--just one kiss, then another.

Be safe, mmh, yes, from mountain flowers?
