Verse:
Am                            G      Am G
  I was born in a valley of bricks
           Am                           G     Am G
Where the river runs high above the rooftops.
       G
I was waiting for the cars coming home late at night 
                G
From the Dutch mountains.

I was standing in a valley of rock
Up to my belly in an early fog.
I was looking for the road to a green painted house
In the Dutch mountains.
               G
In the Dutch mountains

Am G

I met a woman in a valley of stone
She was painting roses on the walls of her hame.
And the moon is a coin with the head of the queen
Of the Dutch mountains; in the Dutch mountains.

I lost a button of my shirt today
    Am
It fell on the ground and it was rolling away.
        F                    G               Am
Like a trail leading me back   to the Dutch mountains
               F       G
To the Dutch mountains

Am G

I met a miller on the back of a cow
He was looking for the wind
but he didn't know how.
I said: "Follow the cloud that looks like a sheep" -
In the Dutch mountains
in the Dutch mountains

In the Dutch mountains
in the Dutch mountains.
