Intro: 2 x [ D       D/F? ][ Bm      A] 

           D       D/F?     Bm       A
And these leafy mysteries

          D       D/F?     Bm       A
And the silence of the eve

             D       D/F?     Bm       A
And in the shady trees I swing

            D       D/F?     G            G
And in the dappled orchards heat

                 C                F
Where I lie and wait

               Bb                D?
Wait for the breeze

        A               A
To carry me

D    D/C    D/B        D
To a place I can lose myself

D    D/C     D/B        D
No time but somewhere else

D     D/C    D/B        D
With a face I can recognise

   E
I forget sometimes

                     A        D/F#   A
That’s always been there

A      D/F#     A

A      D/F#

D       D/F?     Bm       A

               D       D/F?     Bm       A
And all these leafy mysteries
   
              D       D/F?     Bm       A
And the changing of the seas

                D       D/F?     Bm       A
And all the secrets of the tide

                  D       D/F?     G          G
Just open up the world I find

           C            F
So small to me

                        Bb       D#
When there’s so much to see

          A             A
So much to be

D   D/C      D/B          D
Day up and the grasses hiss

D     D/C       D/B          D
Get up like sweet lips they kiss

D     D/C       D/B        D
See now that you’re part of it

   E
I forget sometimes

                    A   D/F#    A
That’s always been here
A        D/F#       A

A       D/F#        

 D       D/F?     Bm       A

             D       D/F?     Bm       A 
And these leafy mysteries

              D       D/F?     Bm       A
Have always been and always will

              D       D/F?     Bm       A
And in the shady trees I swing

            D       D/F#          G             G         
And in the dappled orchards heat

               C             F
Where I lie in wait

                Bb            D#
Wait for the breeze

         A         A    D/F#         A
To hunger me

A    D/F#         A
Wait for the trees

A    D/F#         A
To breathe in to me
