Herman the Hermit Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Hig[C]h o[G]n[D]
[G]the mountain
A man sat a-countin'
All All the rocks he had found the day
He [C]lived all alone 'cause the
Doggone lone-gettin'-rocks
[G]was was all he craved
They said he was lazy and just too crazy
To face the world outside
But [C]they didn't know all the rocks were gold
[D]And Herman was the richest
little man [G]around

[Verse 2]
[G]
[C]Herman the hermit
Has to get the permit
To [G]get his long hairs cut
[C]Pretty girls scared him
Never went near him
'til [G]one day on a mountain high
[D]Along came a creature with
a lot of pretty pictures
And made old Herman kisses rocks
good[G]bye

[D]
[G]She

[Verse 3]
carried him to town just
to show him around
And dressed him in the latest craze
While he [C]clipped his hair,
You know, she slipped downstairs
And [G]had them rocks appraised
Now she was told they were solid gold
The wheels started spinning
around
The morning [C]paper read: "Ole
Herman dropped dead"
And [D]now she's the richest
little woman in [G]town.

[Verse 4]
[G]
[C]Herman the hermit
Has to get the permit
To [G]get his long hairs cut
[C]Pretty girls scared him
Never went near him
'Til [G]one day on a mountain high
[D]Along came a creature with
a lot of pretty pictures
And made old Herman kisses rocks goodbye
[G]
