G Dm7
the children of the summer’s end
Em Am
gathered in the dampened grass
Bm A#
we played our songs and felt the london sky
C G
resting on our hands it was god’s land
C G Dm7
it was ragged and naive it was heaven

G Dm7
touch , we touched the very soul
Em Am
of holding each and every life
Bm A#
we claimed the very source of joy ran through
C G
it didn’t , but it seemed that way
C G D# C
i kissed a lot of people that day

C Em
oh , to capture just one drop
C7 Am7 F
of all the ecstasy that swept that afternoon
G F C
to paint that love upon a white balloon
Em C7
and fly it from the toppest top of all the tops
Am7 F
that man has pushed beyond his brain
G F C
satori must be something just the same

D Dmaj7
we scanned the skies with rainbow eyes
D7 D6 G6
and saw machines of every shape and size
A G D
we talked with tall venusians passing through
Dmaj7
and peter tried to climb aboard
D7 D6
but the captain shook his head
G6
and away they soared
A G D
climbing through the ivory vibrant cloud
A G D
someone passed some bliss among the crowd
A G
and we walked back to the road , unchained

weird bit

D C G D
the sun machine is coming down , and we’re gonna have a party , ah ah ah
D C G D
the sun machine is coming down , and we’re gonna have a party , ah ah ah
D C G D
the sun machine is coming down , and we’re gonna have a party , ah ah ah
D C G D
the sun machine is coming down , and we’re gonna have a party , ah ah ah

repeat until fade out . . .
