    Am       C              D 
1. Imagine a still summer's day, 
        F          Am       F           E 
   when nothing is moving, least of all me. 
     Am        C           D 
   I lay on my back in the hay, 
       F            Am         
   The warm sun was soothing, 
      C    F  E              Am    F     E 
   It made me feel good, the day I met Marie. 
  

       Am             C          D 
2. The sound of her whispered "Hello" 
         F       Am    F       E 
   Came echoing softly into my head. 
      Am       C            D 
   I opened my eyes kind of slow, 
       F             Am      
   And there she was smiling, 
      C    F  E              Am     F    C 
   It made me feel good, the day I met Marie,  

  
REFRAIN: 
    C                       
   With her laughing eyes, she tossed her hair and tantalized,  
        G                                         F               C         
   She came, she touched me then she'd gone, just like the summer breeze.   
     
   (=Instr. refrain) C - G - F - C 
  

Bridge: 
        F                 Em                                                            
   I remember her kiss so soft on my brow, 
            F 
   And the way that she said,  
                          -Dm             F        -C 
   "Baby, go to sleep now,   baby, go to sleep now." 
  

      Am          C            D  
3. I woke with a chill in the air, 
        F           Am    F           E 
   The warm sun no longer hung in the sky. 
      Am              C           D 
   I reached out, but she was not there, 
         F              Am  
   She'd gone where she came from , 
       C  F    E            Am        F       C 
   But I still feel good to think I'd known Marie 


REFRAIN: 
    C                               
   With her laughing eyes, she tossed her hair and tantalized,  
        G                                          F              C         
   She came, she touched me then she'd gone, just like the summer breeze.
