Cool grass blowing up the pass - don't you know I'm feeling mellow?

Oh, I love your Roman nose, the way you curl your toes baby.

F * Am *
It's the same old feeling - I get when you're stealing -
Dm * F6/C *
back into my bed again

With the curtains closed and the window froze -
G7 * * * C7 / / C9sus
by the rhythm of the rain.

Oh, you make me mellow. Oh, you make me mellow. Rocking smooth & slow.

Mellow's the feeling that we get watching the coal fire glow.

Oh, you make me mellow. Oh, I make you mellow.
F7 Bdim A7
Wrecking the sheets real fine. Heaven knows what you sent me Lord-
Bb F Bb / F / Bb / F /
but God this is a mellow time.
F * Am7 * Dm * F6/C *
Going down to the stores in town - getting all the things we need.
Bdim * Dm F6/C Bb * F *
Oh, don't forget the beer - my little dear.
G7 * * * C7 /Bb /A /G
It helps to sow the mellow seed.
F * Am * Dm * F6/C *
And it can't be bad, all the love I've had coursing through my life.

Whoa, down in the pass where the wind blows fast -
G7 * * * C7 / / C9sus
and mellow, mellow's a feeling right.
