Em Em7 Em6 Em7 Em6
It's a lazy afternoon
Em Em7 Em6 Em7 Em6
And the beetle bugs are zoomin'
Em7 A7 Em7 A7 Em7 A7
And the tulip trees are bloomin'
Em7 Em7/9 Em7 A7 Em7 A7/9 Em7 Em9 Em7 A7
And there's not another human in view but us two
Am Am7 D9 Am7 D9
It's a lazy afternoon
Am Am7 D9 Am7 D9
And the farmer leaves his reapin'
Am Am7 D9 Am7 D7/9
In the meadow, cows are sleepin',
Am7 D9 Am7 A7/9 Am7 A7/9 D9 A7/9 Em7 G/B A7/9 D7
And the speckled trout stops leapin' upstream as we dream
Am7 A9 A7/9 A9 A7/9 D7 Am7 D7
A fat, pink cloud hangs over the hill
Am7 D7 D7/9 D7 Am7 D9
Unfolding like a rose
Am7 D7/9 Am7 D7 Am7 D Am7 D7
If you hold my hand and sit real still
Am D7/9 A7/9 Am Am7 A7/9 D9 B7 Em
You can hear the grass as it grows
Em Em7 Em6 Em7 Em6
It's a hazy afternoon
Em Em7 Em6 Em7/9 Em6
And I know a place that's quit
G/B A7 Em7 A7 Em7
'Cept for daisies runnin' riot
Em7 Em7/9 Em7 A7 Em7 A7/9 Em7 Em9 Em7 A7
And there's no one passin' by it to see
Em7 A Am Am7 Am D9 Am7 D7/9 Em
Come spend this lazy afternoon with me
