Make for the meadow and savour the grass while it lasts
D      G
By and by
E                                         A
Shadowy fingers of industry reach for the sky
D                                       G
Brick upon brick, stone upon stone they grow
E                                       A
Choking the atmosphere oh so incredibly slowly
D                                            G
Sulfur and carbon and hydrogen sulphide and lime

Day by day

D          G
Riddle and fool
E                                A
Mushrooming home in a crowd, I'm alone

Close your eyes lie still

You are a mountain stream and I am a hill
D        G
Far, far away 
E                                                 A
There is a field of blossom and bees and new mown hay
