Amaj7  B7sus4  Amaj7  B7sus4  



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 
Theybowedtheir weary heads resignedto wait a few more hours 



Fmaj7                          Cmaj7 
Andwe walked together in the half light 
Fmaj7                             Cmaj7 
Down secret paths climbed wooden fences 
Fmaj7                    E                    Fmaj7(b5)    E   Fmaj7(b5)   E   Fmaj7(b5)    E 
Till a dancing meadow enveloped us within its grassy web 



           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 



          Fmaj7               Cmaj7     Fmaj7             Cmaj7 
And our woven bodies sang together in harmony with understanding 
                    Fmaj7    E               Fmaj7(b5)      E   Fmaj7(b5)    E   Fmaj7(b5)    E   Fmaj7(b5)    E 
Till we fell back smiling rejoicing in the music we had made



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 



        Fmaj7                Cmaj7     Fmaj7                      Cmaj7 
And we lay together in the long grass holding hands and making sweet talk 
                    Fmaj7        E                    Fmaj7(b5)   E   Fmaj7(b5)    E   Fmaj7(b5)    E   Fmaj7(b5)  
Till the smell of wood smoke reminded us that it was time to go
