BERKELEY WOMAN

Words and music by Brian Bowers
Sung by John Denver on the album JD

G C G
1) I saw a Berkeley woman sittin` in her rockin chair
2) `Twas hard to believe what my eyes showed me then
3) Well, I fin`ly realized there was hunger in my stare
4) So with anger on her face and hurt in her eyes
5) I guess she`s prob`ly right, Oh, I guess I`m prob`ly wrong
6) Well, now you`ve heard my story as plain as the light of day

G D7
1) A dulcimer in her lap, a feather in her hair
2) The color in her cheeks was just her natural skin
3) In my mind I was swayin` with the woman in the rockin` chair
4) She scratched me and & clawed me, she screamed & she cried
5) I guess she`s not too far away, she hasn`t been gone very long
6) It`s hard to feel guilty for lovin` the ladies

G
1) Her breasts swayed freely
2) She wore no makeup
3) But the lady I was livin` with
4) Oh you don`t give me near
5) And I guess we could get together
6) That`s all I gotta say (To chorus)

C G
1) With the rhythm of the rockin` chair
2) To make her look that way
3) Was standin` right by my side
4) All the lovin` that you should
5) And try this one more time

C G
1) She was a sittin` and a singin` and a swayin`
2) She was a natural mama with the red cheeks
3) She saw my stare and she saw the hunger
4) Yet you`re ready to go and lay with her
5) But I know the wanderlust would come again

D7 G
1) Her cheeks were red I declare
2) What more can I say?
3) And Lord it made her cry
4) You`re just no damn good!
5) She`d only wind up cryin`

G
(Chorus) 1) Except a woman is the sweetest fruit
2) Well, a woman is the sweetest fruit
C G
1) That God ever put on the vine
2) That God ever put on the vine
C G
1) I`d no more love just one kind of woman
2) I`d no more love just one kind of woman
3) I`d no more love just one kind of woman

D7 G
1) Than drink only one kind of wine
2) Than drink only one kind of wine
3) Than drink only one kind of wine
