D - A/C# - C - G
[Verse]
G F6 C/E G
Lately I've been thinking how much I miss my lady
Bm7 Em G7/D C G
Amoreena's in the cornfield brightening the daybreak
G F6 C/E G
Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours
Bm7 Em G7/D C G
Rolling through the hay like a puppy child
[Chorus]
D A/C#
And when it rains the rain falls down
C G
Washing out the cattle town
D A/C# C G
And she's far away somewhere in her eiderdown
G#dim Esus4 E7
And she dreams of crystal streams
Am C7/G F
Of days gone by when we would lean
Fm7 Fm7/Eb Dsus4 D7
Laughing fit to burst upon each other
[Verse]
G F6 C/E G
I can see you, sitting eating, apples in the evening
Bm7 Em G7/D C
The fruit juice flowing slowly, slowly, slowly
G
Down the bronze of your body
G F6 C/E G
Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours
Bm7 Em G7/D C G
Rolling through the hay, oh, like a puppy child
[Chorus]
D A/C#
And when it rains the rain falls down
C G
Washing out the cattle town
D A/C# C G
And she's far away somewhere in her eiderdown
G#dim Esus4 E7
And she dreams of crystal streams
Am C7/G F
Of days gone by when we would lean
Fm7 Fm7/Eb Dsus4 D7
Laughing fit to burst upon each other
[Verse]
G F6 C/E G
Oh if only I could nestle, in the cradle of your cabin
Bm7 Em G7/D C G
My arms around your shoulders, whoa, the windows wide and open
G F6 C/E G
While the swallow and the sycamore, oh, are playing in the valley
Bm7 Em G7/D C G
Oh I miss you Amoreena like a king bee misses honey
[Chorus]
D A/C#
And when it rains the rain falls down
C G
Washing out the cattle town
D A/C# C G
And she's far away somewhere in her eiderdown
G#dim Esus4 E7
And she dreams of crystal streams
Am C7/G F
Of days gone by when we would lean
Fm7 Fm7/Eb Dsus4 D7
Laughing fit to burst upon each other
D A/C#
And when it rains the rain falls down
C G
Washing out the cattle town
D A/C# C G
And she's far away somewhere in her eiderdown
G#dim Esus4 E7
And she dreams of crystal streams
Am C7/G F
Of days gone by when we would lean
Fm7 Fm7/Eb Dsus4 D7
Laughing fit to burst upon each other
