Lyrics

Oh, (A)play me some moun tain (D)mu sic,

like (A)grand ma and grand pa used to play.

Then I’ll (A)float

on down the riv er

to a Ca

jun hide a (A)way.

Drift a way

like Tom (D)Saw yer, ride a raft

with ol’ Huck (D)Finn.

Take a nap

like Rip Van (D)Win kle,

daze (G)dream

in’ a (E)gain.

Oh, (A)play me some moun tain (D)mu sic,

like (A)grand ma and grand pa used to play.

Then I’ll (A)float

on down the riv er

to a Ca

jun hide a (E)way.

(A)Swim

a cross the riv er,

just to prove

that I’m a man.

Spend the day

be in’ la zy,

just (G)be

in’ na ture’s (E)friend.

(A)Climb

a long tall hick ’ry.

Bend it o

ver “skin nin’ cats.”

Play in’ base

ball with chert rocks,

in’ (G)saw

mill slabs for (E)friend.

(E)bats.

Play some (A)back home,

come on (D)mu sic

that (A)comes

from the heart.

Play (A)some thing with lots of feel in’, ’cause that’s where (Bm)mu

sic has to (E)start.

Oh, (A)play me some moun tain (D)mu sic,

like (A)grand ma and grand pa used to play.

Then I’ll (A)float

on down the riv er

to a Ca

jun hide a (E)way.

Oh, (A)play me some moun tain (D)mu sic,

like (A)grand ma and grand pa used to play.

Then I’ll (A)float

on down the riv er

to a Ca

jun hide a (E)way.

Oh, (E)way.
