        C  F  C  G Dm7
        G  Dm7  G  Dm7
The GChildren of the summer's Dm7end
EmGathered in the dampened Amgrass
We Bmplayed Our songs and felt the BbLondon sky
CResting on our hands it was GGod's land
It was Cragged and naive it was GHeavenDm7  
GTouch, We touched the very Dm7soul
Of Emholding each and every Amlife
We Bmclaimed the very source of Bbjoy ran through
It Cdidn't, but it seemed that Gway
I Ckissed a lot of people that GdayEb  C  
COh, to capture Emjust one drop 
Of C7all the ecstaAm7sy that swept that Fafternoon
To Gpaint that love uFpon a white balCloon
And fly it from the Emtoppest top of C7all the tops 
That Am7man has pushed beFyond his brain
SaGtori must be Fsomething just the Csame
We Dscanned the skies with Dmaj7rainbow eyes 
And D7saw machines of D6every shape and G6size
We Atalked with tall VeGnusians passing Dthrough
And Peter tried to Dmaj7climb aboard 
But the D7Captain shook his D6head
And aG6way they soared
AClimbing through the Givory vibrant Dcloud
ASomeone passed some Gbliss among the Dcrowd
And We Awalked back to the Groad, unchained
WEIRD BIT
The Dsun machine is Ccoming down, and we're Ggonna have a party, Dah ah ah
The Dsun machine is Ccoming down, and we're Ggonna have a party, Dah ah ah
The Dsun machine is Ccoming down, and we're Ggonna have a party, Dah ah ah
The Dsun machine is Ccoming down, and we're Ggonna have a party, Dah ah ah
Repeat until fade out...
