          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,
New mown grass smells so sweet
By the river holding hands
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.

When that fat old sun in the sky is falling
Summer evening birds are calling
Children’s laughter in my ears
The last sunlight disappears

Chorus

D          G         D F C
When that fat old sun
