Intro:
E MajorE E B minorBm E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA

Verse 1:
A augmentedA              D MajorD    A augmentedA
The blackbird she flies wherever she wants to
B minorBm              A minorAm A augmentedA
The mockingbird singing, oh, any old song
                   D MajorD     C#C#
And the swallow she's nesting in the rafters of my house
BB     B minorBm       E MajorE       A augmentedA
Summer is coming and the geese are all gone
      BB      E MajorE
You got to fly and let fly

Verse 2:
    A augmentedA             D MajorD     A augmentedA
Ah, the mower's broke down and the yard's run away with me
   B minorBm            A augmentedA
I've taken to sitting and just watching it grow
                D MajorD
And the rabbits are eating like kings in the driveway
     B minorBm         E MajorE      E MajorE
And I've just about found me no place to go
       BB      E MajorE
You've got to live and let live

Chorus:
E MajorE             B minorBm      E MajorE
Come sit by my side in the shade of all greens
  A augmentedA        D MajorD        E minorEm   E MajorE A augmentedA
It smells like the honeysuckle have gone to extremes
  E MajorE            B minorBm       E MajorE
And I've found a reason and you've made it rhyme
  A augmentedA     D MajorD   E MajorE        A augmentedA
And we can go crazy, tomorrow's just fine

Verse 3:
A augmentedA
I'm going to sit on the front porch
     D MajorD       A augmentedA
Until the lightning bugs show up
    B minorBm              A augmentedA
And it really gets dark and there's dogs in the trash
                   D MajorD      C#C#
It's the first and the last time all rolled into this time
B minorBm           E MajorE      A augmentedA
You make me feel like I just took a bath
      BB       E MajorE
You got to laugh and let laugh

Chorus:
E MajorE             B minorBm      E MajorE
Come sit by my side in the shade of all greens
  A augmentedA        D MajorD        E minorEm   E MajorE A augmentedA
It smells like the honeysuckle have gone to extremes
  E MajorE            B minorBm       E MajorE
And I've found a reason and you've made it rhyme
  A augmentedA     D MajorD    E MajorE    A augmentedA
And we can go laughin' any old time

Bridge:
      BB      E MajorE
You got to love and let love
  A augmentedA     D MajorD       A augmentedA
And we can go lovin' any ol' time
      BB      E MajorE
You got to fly and let fly
