G G/F# Em Em*
Here's a hymn to welcome in the day
G G/F# Em
Heralding a summer's early sway
Em* C C/B Am7 [Am7 C/B]

Pegging clothing on the line

Training Jasmine how to vine
Em* C C/B Am7 [Am7 C/B]
Up the arbour to your door ... and more

You're standing on the landing with the war you shouldered all the night before

Heaven sent this cardinal marooon to decorate our living room
