1. There‘s a smell of fresh cut grass and it‘s filling up my senses,

                    A                                - E

    and the sun is shining down on      the blossoms in the avenue,

A                                                                  E

    there‘s a buzzin‘ fly, hangin‘ round the bluebells and the daisies,

                 - A                            - E

    there‘s        a lot more lovin‘        left in this world.

 

           A    - E                                             A    - E

Don‘t go,        don‘t leave me now, now, now,

                           A     - E                                                        - A  - E

while the sun smiles,        stick around and laugh a while !

 

                  - A                                 E

2. And I‘m        lying warm on the soft sandy beaches,

                  A                                           E

    and my toes are submerged in the water, and it feels good.

A                                             E

    Children playing, building castles on the shoreline,

                A                                         - E

    like a painting that we loved, Lord,       it feels so fine.

 

           A    - E                                             A    - E

Don‘t go,        don‘t leave me now, now, now,

                           A   - E                                                    - A - E

while the sun smiles,     stick around and laugh a while !           Aha, aha.

                            E

    there‘s blue sirocco blowin‘ warm into my face.

    The sun is shining on the other side of the bridges,

                         A                          - E

    and there‘s cars going by with         smiles in the windows.

                           - A                                  - E

    And there‘s a       black cat lying in the        shadow of the gate-post,

                  - A                                                    E

    and the        black cat keeps telling me that love is on the way.
