Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]I w[Am]ent t[F]o [G]a He[Am]rmit o[C]f Misty[Am]
Mountain who [C]lives in a cave [Am]above
And I [C]asked this wise old [Am]man,
" Oh, Mr [F]Hermit, what is a [G]love...?"
He said, [C]"Love is a boat [Cm]that sails to
heaven on a [Ab]river that has no [Cm]end...
It's a [Ab]magic carpet to the Valley of Dreams...
[Cm]that's [Am]a love my friend..."
[C][Am][F]

[Verse 2]
[G]
So I [C]asked this Hermit of a [Am]Misty Mountain
who [C]lives where the cold winds [Am]blow,
" If I [C]find this thing called [Am]love... oh,
[F]Mr Hermit, how will I [G]know...?
He said, [Cm]"Y ou'll see the Sun when it isn't
shining and the [Ab]stars when they don't [Cm]glow...
And you'll [Ab]hear songs when there
[Cm]ain't [Ab]no singing...
[Cm]That's a- how [Am]you'll [C]know..."

[Interlude 1]
[Am][F][G]
[C][Am][C][Am][C][Am][F]
[Am][G][D][G][Am]
[G]
[C]So I said

[Verse 3]
to a Hermit of [Am]Misty Mountain
be[C]fore these things are [Am]thru
"When [C]I find this thing called l[Am]ove,. oh,
[F]Mr Hermit, what do I [G]do?
He said, [Cm]"Treasure this love much more
than [Ab]gold and care for it [Cm]tenderly...
Or you'll [Ab]be a Hermit
on a Misty Mountain
[Cm]A fool like [Am]me[C][Am]
A fool like [C]me
Aaaw, you'll [Am]be a fool l[C]ike me[Am]
A fool like me..."
