Jerry Lee Lewis – Herman The Hermit (Guitar)

G
High on the mountain

G
A man sat a-countin'

G
All the rocks he had found the day

   C
He lived all alone 'cause the

                     G
Doggone lone-gettin'-rocks was all he craved

G
They said he was lazy and just too crazy

G
To face the world outside

    C
But they didn't know all the rocks were gold

    D                             G
And Herman was the richest little man around

C
Herman the hermit

C
Has to get the permit

   G
To get his long hairs cut

C
Pretty girls scared him

C
Never went near him

     G
'til one day on a mountain high

 D
Along came a creature with a lot of pretty pictures

                                     G
And made old Herman kisses rocks goodbye

G
She carried him to town just to show him around

G
And dressed him in the latest craze

         C
While he clipped his hair

C
You know, she slipped downstairs

    G
And had them rocks appraised

G
Now she was told they were solid gold

G
The wheels started spinning around

            C
The morning paper read: "Ole Herman dropped dead"

    D                                     G
And now she's the richest little woman in town

C
Herman the hermit

C
Has to get the permit

   G
To get his long hairs cut

C
Pretty girls scared him

C
Never went near him

     G
'til one day on a mountain high

 D
Along came a creature with a lot of pretty pictures

                                     G
And made old Herman kisses rocks goodbye
