Grantchester Meadows

Intro: E A/E E E A/E E Icy wind of night be gone. This is not your domain. A/E E In the sky a bird was heard to cry. A D/A E Misty morning whisperings and gentle stirring sound A/E E Belied a deathly silence that lay all around. A G F#m E Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog-fox gone to ground. A G F#m E See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water. A G F#m E And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees, A G F#m E Laughing as it passes through the endless summer making for the sea. E A/E E In the lazy water meadow I lay me down. A/E E All around me golden sunflakes settle on the ground. A D/A Basking in the sunshine of a by-gone afternoon, E A/E E Bringing sounds of yesterday into this city doom. A G F#m E Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog-fox gone to ground. A G F#m E See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water. A G F#m E And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees, A G F#m E Laughing as it passes through the endless summer making for the sea. E A/E E In the lazy water meadow I lay me down.
