Capo:no capo
[Intro]
C G C D
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Interlude]
C G

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
