[D]
Where the road runs [A] down by the butternut [D] grove to old Bill [G] Skinner's stream
[D] You [G] tell at the noonday [A] bell it's time for a [D] summertime dream
In a lunch pail [A] down in a one-horse way [D] you can live like king [G] and queen
[D] Let's steal away [G] in the noonday [A] sun.
It's time for a [D] summertime dream
[Bm] Birds in all creation [D] will be twittering in the trees [Bm] and down below's a pond
I [D] know you can swim in it [A] if you please
[D] You come [A] around when the mill shuts [D] down you can see what [G] shivel remains
[D] Steal away [G] in the noonday [A] sun.
It's time for a [D] summertime dream
[F#m] [A] [D]
[G] [D] [G] [A]
[D] [Bm] On a trip on down to wonderland in [D] love among the flowers
[Bm] Where time gets lost with no straw [D] balls
Telling [A] of the hours
