  I was born in the valley of bricks      
           Am                            G    Am
 where the river runs high above the rooftops

  I was standing in the valley of rock,        
Am                         G   Am
Up to my belly in an early fog
      G

she was painting roses on the walls of her home
        G                                                      
And the moon is a coin with the head of the queen,
             Am        G  Am

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

he was looking for the wind but he didn’t know how
       G                                                      
I said follow the cloud that looks like a sheep,

in the Dutch mountains
             G

O-lay-do-lay-di-lay

In the Dutch mountains ...
