[Intro 1]
[G][D]
[G][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
"Icy [G]wind of nights
[D]be [G]gone this is [D]not your domain"
In [G]the sky a bird is heard to [D]cry
[G]Misty morning whisperings and
[C]gentle stirring sou[G]nds[C][G]
[D]Belie[G]d the dea[D]thly si [G]lence
[D]that lay all [G]around

[Verse 2]
Hear [G]the lark and harken to
[F]the barking of [Em]the dog [D]fox
Gone to [G]ground
See the splashing of the king[F]fisher
flash[Em]ing to [D]the water
[G]And a river of green is [F]sliding
unseen [Em]beneath [G]the [D]trees
[G]Laughing as it passes through the[F] endless summer,
mak[Em]ing for t[D]he sea

[Verse 3]
[D]
In the [G]lazy wa[D]ter[G]
[D]meadow I lay me down
All [G]around me [D]golden sun
[G]flakes coveri[D]ng the ground
[G]Basking in the sunshine of a
bygone after[C]noon[G]
Bring[D]ing [G]sounds of yes[D]ter
[G]day into [D]this city [G]room

[Verse 4]
[G]Hear the lark and harken to
[F]the barking of [Em]the dog [D]fox
Gone [G]to ground
See the splashing of [F]the kingfisher
flash[Em]ing to [D]the water
And [G]a river of green is s[F]liding
unseen [Em]beneath [D]the trees
[G]Laughing as it passes through the end[F]less summer,
mak[Em]ing for t[D]he sea
