| 1) I s | aw a Berkeley woman si | ttin' in her rockin chai | r |
| 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 fe | ather 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 br | easts 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 rh | ythm of the rockin' chai | r |
| 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 si | ttin' and a singin' and a s | wayin' |
| 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 ch | eeks were red I dec | lare |
| 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 wo | man is the sweetest fruit |
| 2) Well, a woman is the sweetest fruit |
| C | G | |
| 1) That G | od ever put on the vi | ne |
| 2) That God ever put on the vine |
| C | G | |
| 1) I'd n | o more love just o | ne 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 dr | ink only one kind of wi | ne |
| 2) Than drink only one kind of wine |
| 3) Than drink only one kind of wine |
