[F]
[Am] [G] The children of the [F] summer's end
[C] Gathered in the dampened grass
We [Bm] played our songs and [Bb] felt the London sky
[C]
Resting on our hearts it was [G] God's love
It [C] was rugged and naive, [G] it was heaven
[Dm]
[G] We touched the [Dm] very soul
[C] Of [Em] holding each and every [Am] life
We [Bm] claimed the very source [Bb] of joy ran through

[C] Oh, to capture just one drop of all the [Am]
ecstasy
That swept that [F] afternoon
[C] To paint that [F] love upon a [C] white's balloon
And fly it from the toughest top of all the tops
That man has pushed [F] beyond his brain
[C] Satori must [F] be something [C] just the same

And saw machines of every shape [G] and size
[A] We talked with [G] tall [D] Venusians passing through

[A] Someone [G] passed and blessed among [D] the crowd
And [A] we walked back to [G] the road unshamed
[D] The sun machine is coming down
What is [Am]
taking so long?
