INTRO:
Play Riff 1 ten times
then play Riff 2 once
VERSE:
Play Riff 2 twice
(1st time)
Inside the open air on Sunday
Cruising would go down well, if only
Clouds overhead in turn
Would head downstream
(2nd time)
Outside on picnic lawns so green
Eating 'til half past three, it seems
Skies overhead so blue
Would shine so clean
CHORUS:
Play Riff 3 once
So let's just stay here,
Take in the sun and dream of distant rain
So let's remain here,
Take in the sun and send cold winds away
then play Riff 1 four times
VERSE:
Play Riff 2 twice
(1st time)
Falling asleep in light that dazzles
Like it the way your mind unravels
Waking in time to see
It's time for tea
(2nd time)
Rising above a tree off yonder
Sun in the sky, it seems would ponder
How in the world did things
Get so serene?
then play:-
445xxx
And we'll get by and maybe
667xxx
See another sunny day
REPEAT CHORUS
then play Riff 1 four times
