G                            D  
When the fat old sun in the sky is falling

Summer evening birds are calling  
G                 D  
Summer sunday and a year 
F                   C           G        G  
The sound of music in my ears  
  
  
G              D              F                C  
Distant bells, new mown grass smells so sweet  
G            D              F               C             G  
By the river holding hands, roll me up and lay me down  
  
            
   C       Bm                Am7  
And if you sit, don't make a sound.  
                    G  
Pick your feet up off the ground  
        C               Bm             Am7  
And if you hear as the warm night falls  
                        Dm  
The silver sound from a time so strange  
Gm          Dm  
Sing to me, Sing to me

When that fat old sun in the sky is falling

Summer evening birds are calling

Children's laughter in my ears  
F                  C           G  
The last sunlight disappears  
           C     Bm                Am7  
And if you sit, don't make a sound  
                  G  
Pick your feet up off the ground

Sing to me, Sing to me
