  Em
When they said that you were beautiful
  D
I said it there and then
  C
I laid aside all resistance
  D
Forgot to say amen
  Em
And when you raised your hands to me
  D
A glow therein I saw
  C
A baby of the morning
       Em  
Was sleeping
         
Nature's law

         C                  D               Em
And it begins to seem like summer's almost gone
         C                  D               Em       G Em G Em G
Like the wind that blow the leaves out on the lawn

  Em
I determined that I loved you
    D
You determined I am he
    C
Determined both togethe
    D
We meet our company
         Em
And the feathers of the wild dove
   D
Floating to the ground
   C
Gliding through the branches
   Em
Spinning slowly round

       C             D               Em
As we wait in the mountains for the song
       C             D               Em
That revives what's been between us all along

    Em               
In Cannes there was absurdity
    D
In Nice there was the shore
    C
In Monaco there were casinos
    D
In Asia there was war
    Em
And the pipers were American
    D
The peaches fresh with cream
    C
People with vibrations
          Em
Just wild robots by some stream


     C                D               Em
And now we grasp imaginary straws
     C                   D                  Em
And shuffle through the sea with bright new claws

            Em
If what we know can save us
      D
Then it's time to make the try
             C
Every time they try to make us
                  D
Servants of some lie
      Em
The children born of bodies
     D
In bold with pattern scheme
         C
It's a funny, funny world you live in
           Em
Til you learn that it's a dream

       C           D              Em
Sea serpents are rockage made of clay
       C           D          Em  C   D   Em
Explaining how we were yesterday

         Em
Still I said that you were beautiful
    D
I said it there and then
    C
I laid aside resistance
    D
Forgot to say amen
     Em
And when you raised your hands to me
    D
A glow therein I see
      C
The childhood of that beauty
        Em
Which belongs to you and me

        C            D              Em
And I realise that summer is never gone
        C            D                         Em 
Like the wind that blow the leaves out on the lawn
            C
Out on the lawn
            D
Out on the lawn
         Em 
On the lawn
