Verse

Sing to me sweetly as I turn sour
Lay me down, remembering
That the wind and the rain
D D/G D G (G embellishment)
Played a part in that dreadful hour
And so as I pass, I too feel the power
Laying here under the trees
Where three days before
D D/G G (G embellishment)
I danced in a summer shower

Chorus

And she said, "There, look through the trees
Am Em Am Em (Em embellishment)
The sun always shines, always on time
Dare, rest on your knees
And in a prayer, follow me there"

Verse

Softly I slumber as I turn to powder
Blowing out over the sea
The wind and the rain below me
D/G D G (G embellishment)
Though I'm no longer flying
A bird is alone as the wind takes me higher
Now I don't know where I am
The bird can't hear me
D D/G D G (G embellishment)
As I shout out even louder

Chorus×2

And she said, "There, look through the trees
Am Em Am Em (Em embellishment)
The sun always shines, always on time
Dare, rest on your knees
And in a prayer, follow me there"
And she said, "There, look through the trees
Am Em Am Em (Em embellishment)
The sun always shines, always on time
Dare, rest on your knees
And in a prayer, follow me there"
