G                             D
When the fat old sun in the sky is falling,
F               C                 G
Summer evening birds are calling.
                  D
Summer's thunder time of year,
    F               C           G
The sound of music in my ears.


Distant bells,
D                      F        C
New-mown grass smells so sweet.
G            D
By the river holding hands,
F               C             G
Roll me up and lay me down.


[Chorus]

           C          Bm
And if you sit, don't make a sound.
Am                G
Pick your feet up off the ground.
           C           Bm
And if you hear as the warm night falls
Am                      Dm
The silver sound from a time so strange,
Gm
Sing to me,
Dm            F   D
Sing to me.


[Verse]

D            G                   D
  When that fat old sun in the sky is falling,
F               C                 G
Summer evening birds are calling.
                    D
Children's laughter in my ears,
    F              C           G
The last sunlight disappears.


[Chorus]

           C          Bm
And if you sit, don't make a sound.
Am                G
Pick your feet up off the ground.
           C           Bm
And if you hear as the warm night falls
Am                      Dm
The silver sound from a time so strange,
Gm
Sing to me,
Dm          F
Sing to me.

D          G                D  F  C
When that fat old sun ...
