[Verse]
Lay your head where my heart uFmsed to be
GHold the earth above Cmme
AbLay down in the green grass
GRemember when you Cmloved me
Come closer dFmon't be shy
GStand beneath a rainy Cmsky
AbThe moon is over the rise
GThink of me as a Cmtrain goes by
Clear the thiFmstles and brambles
GWhistle 'Didn't HCme Ramble'
AbNow there's a bubble of me
GAnd it's floatiCmng in thee
[Middle Section]
FmStand in the Bbshade of me
EbThings are now made of me
AbThe weather vane will say...
GIt smells like rain today
[Verse]
God took the stars and he Fmtossed 'em
GCan't tell the birds from the Cmblossoms
AbYou'll never be free of me
GHe'll make a Cmtree from me
Don't say good Fmbye to me
GDescribe the Cmsky to me
AbAnd if the sky falls, Gmark my words
CmWe'll catch mocking birds
