Amaj7 B7sus4 Amaj7 B7sus4
Verse 1:
Amaj7 B7sus4
The heavy air was scented by the disappointed flowers
Amaj7 B7sus4
The weatherman had promised them warm soft summer showers
Amaj7 B7sus4 Amaj7
They bowed their weary heads resigned to wait a few more hours
Chorus:
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
And we walked together in the half light
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Down secret paths climbed wooden fences
Fmaj7 E Fmaj7b5 E Fmaj7b5 E Fmaj7b5 E
Till a dancing meadow enveloped us within its grassy web
Verse 2:
Amaj7 B7sus4
There was no need for discussion it was surely no disgrace
Amaj7 B7sus4
Her soft skin had the texture of the finest silken lace
Amaj7 B7sus4 Amaj7
Waiting moist and trembling it was just the time and place
Chorus:
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7
And our woven bodies sang together in harmony with understanding
Fmaj7 E Fmaj7b5 E Fmaj7b5 E Fmaj7b5 E Fmaj7b5 E
Till we fell back smiling rejoicing in the music we had made
Verse 3:
Amaj7 B7sus4
The blood red summer sunset was a slowly spreading stain
Amaj7 B7sus4
That rose behind the bandstand as the shepherd played again
Amaj7 B7sus4 Amaj7
We heard his silver trumpet it had blown away the rain
Chorus:
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7
And we lay together in the long grass holding hands and making sweet talk
Fmaj7 E Fmaj7b5 E Fmaj7b5 E Fmaj7b5 E Fmaj7b5
Till the smell of wood smoke reminded us that it was time to go
Outro:
E Fmaj7b5 E Fmaj7b5 E Fmaj7b5 E Fmaj7b5
