C
Lying in the hot sun today

Am7add6           Am7      Am7add4
Watching the clouds run away

C
Thought a little while about you

                  C
And, well, the geese flew past

       Em
For no reason at all

F(b5)/C  F/C  F(b5)/C  F/C
                         I let the sky fall

             C           G
This is an empty country, I am the king

            C                        Am7add6   Am7  Am7add4
And I should not be allowed to touch anything

C
I picked myself up off the ground

            Am7add6                 Am7      Am7add4
Shook the grass from my hair and I walked around

C
Felt the warm sun in my eye

            C           Em
I shinnied up the black walnut tree

          F
Let the hard blue sky fall right through me

             C                    G
And I saw the sad young cardinals, trying to sing

                C                      Am7add6   Am7  Am7add4
And I should not be allowed to touch anything
