[Intro]
G
Petals and flowers, petals and flowers, petals and flowers


[Verse 1]
G
In the park, getting dark, eating the heat
G
There's an eye in the sky, melting your feet
G
You see a chick, who starts to nick the petals and flowers
G
She starts to joke and then provoke the Dance of the Hours


[Chorus]
G        B            C              D
It's all down to a midsummer night's scene
G        Em             G        A    G C G C
It's all down to a Shakespearian dream


[Verse 2]
G
In her face there's a place disfigured with love
G
Her hands are white, like the night encased in a glove
G
She starts to swing and watches you nick petals and flowers
G
She starts to joke and then evokes the Dance of the Hours


[Chorus]
G        B            C              D
It's all down to a midsummer night's scene
G        Em             G        A    G C G C
It's all down to a Shakespearian dream


[Bridge]
G
Petals and flowers, petals and flowers, petals and flowers, petals and flowers


[Verse 1]
G
In the park, getting dark, eating the heat
G
There's an eye in the sky, melting your feet
G
You see a chick, who starts to nick the petals and flowers
G
She starts to joke and then provoke the Dance of the Hours


[Chorus]
C        Em           F              G
It's all down to a midsummer night's scene
C        Am             C        D
It's all down to a Shakespearian dream
C        Em           F              G
It's all down to a midsummer night's scene
C        Am             C        D
It's all down to a Shakespearian dream
C        Em           F              G
It's all down to a midsummer night's scene
C        Am             C        D
It's all down to a Shakespearian dream...
