[VERSE 1]

           D            A            E            F#m
I want to kiss you in thickets and dripping wet glades
         D         A          E            F#m
As the stars rub against the dark skin of space
        D        A           E            F#m
Every planet is turning and calling your name
     E                                     E7        
For hundreds of miles the trees bend your way

[CHORUS]

              A              D
Because the green buds are swelling
     A             E           A
And June bugs are back in the yard

[VERSE 2]

           D            A               E       F#m
I want to kiss you in green groves and echoing caves
           D                 A            E           F#m
I want to fall through the treetops and drift across lakes
     E                                              E7
The wind's in the oak trees, it's been raining for days

[CHORUS]

              A              D
Because the green buds are swelling
     A              E           A
And June bugs are crawling the yard

And June bugs are back in the yard

[VERSE 3]

 D              A           E             F#m
Hawk moths are sipping the night-blooming rose
   D         A           E            F#m
A honey as sweet as the moon's sugar glow
      D            A           E        F#m
The leaves of the apple tree whispering low
      E                                  E7
The stars are on fire, the nightingales moan

[CHORUS]

              A              D
Because the green buds are swelling
     A              E           A
And June bugs are crawling the yard
