E             F#m
   And I will stroll the merry way

             A6             Emaj7 A6 E
and jump the hedges first

             F#m
I will drink clear,

                 A6                   Emaj7 A6 E    
clean water for to quench my thirst

        F#m
I'll go watch the ferry-boats

   A6               Emaj7 A6 E
and I'll get high

      F#m          
On the bluer ocean

            A6            Emaj7 A6 E
against the water's sky

       F#m
I will walk and talk

          A6                   Emaj7 A6 E
in gardens all wet with rain

        F#m                      A6          Emaj7 A6 
I will never, ever, ever grow so old again
[Chorus 1]
E            A
    Oh--------- good God you're a sweet thing

E            A      N.C.                        E
    Oh--------- good God you're a sweet thing
[Verse 2]
        F#m               A
I shall drive my chariot down 

                       A G#m F#m E
your streets and cry

           F#m             A 
'Hey, it's me tonight I'm dynamite

                       A G#m F#m E
and I don't know why'

              F#m
And you shall take me strongly

   A                 A G#m F#m E
in your arms again

     F#m
Alas still wonder if 

       A               A G#m F#m E
I ever felt the pain

         F#m
We shall walk and talk

           A
In gardens all misty and wet with rain

               F#m
I shall never, ever, ever

        A             A G#m F#m
grow so cold again.
[Chorus 2]
E            A
    Oh--------- good God you're a sweet thing

E            A       N.C.                      E
    Oh--------- good God you're a sweet thing
[Verse 3]
        F#m
I shall raise my hand up

         A 
into the night, 

                A G#m F#m E
to the night sky

              F#m
well you count the stars

              A                 A G#m F#m E
that are shining in your eye

        F#m                         A 
Just to dig it all an' not to wonder

                     A G#m F#m E
that would be fine

        F#m
Be satisfied

                A                  A G#m F#m E
not to read in between the lines
[Outro]
        A                                  E  
Oh--------- good God you're a sweet thing

        A                                  E
Oh--------- good God you're a sweet thing

        A                                     E
Oh--------- my, my, my.. my, my, sweet thing

        A                              
Oh--------- good God
