[Verse]

     C                  Em     Am
On a sunny day we go away and take a little stroll
F                   Dm
Out upon the shore, talk a little more
    C       Em     Am
And find a grassy knoll


F

                 C                        Em
You say I don't care for you in the way I should
     Am
You know I know, I wish I would
     F                               Dm
But all the things I've seen, just turn my mind to dream
    C                    Em    Am
Of all the ways it could be good

F

[Chorus]
                G
But if I could make one woman
Em      Am                      F
Out of all those I have known
                C         Em   Am   F
I'd include a part of you in her
            G         Em
If I could have just one compromised of
Am                   F
All that I adore, in you and she and her
   C                  Em            Am
I know you would be well represented

F

C               Em               Am
Something in a girl I once knew pulled a pang that plundered through
    F                     Dm
The hollows of my frame, left my limbs lame
           C       Em   Am
Churned my mind up into goo

F

              C           Em
The patchwork woman in my fantasy
      Am
Would smile the smile she smiled at me
F                 Dm
Once upon a time, when my heart was blind
C      Em         Am
And my hands were free

F

                G
Still if I could make one woman
Em      Am                      F
Out of all those I have known
                C         Em   Am   F
I'd include a part of you in her
            G         Em
If I could have just one compromised of
Am                   F
All that I adore, in you and she and her
   C                  Em            Am
I know you would be well represented


F

     C                  Em     Am
On a sunny day we go away and take a little stroll
F                   Dm
Out upon the shore, talk a little more
    C       Em     Am
And find a grassy knoll
