[Intro]
GPetals and flowers, petals and flowers, petals and flowers
[Verse 1]
GIn the park, getting dark, eating the heat
GThere's an eye in the sky, melting your feet
GYou see a chick, who starts to nick the petals and flowers
GShe starts to joke and then provoke the Dance of the Hours
[Chorus]
GIt's all Bdown to a midCsummer night's Dscene
GIt's all Emdown to a ShakeGspearian AdreamG  C  G  C  
[Verse 2]
GIn her face there's a place disfigured with love
GHer hands are white, like the night encased in a glove
GShe starts to swing and watches you nick petals and flowers
GShe starts to joke and then evokes the Dance of the Hours
[Chorus]
GIt's all Bdown to a midCsummer night's Dscene
GIt's all Emdown to a ShakeGspearian AdreamG  C  G  C  
[Bridge]
GPetals and flowers, petals and flowers, petals and flowers, petals and flowers
[Verse 1]
GIn the park, getting dark, eating the heat
GThere's an eye in the sky, melting your feet
GYou see a chick, who starts to nick the petals and flowers
GShe starts to joke and then provoke the Dance of the Hours
[Chorus]
CIt's all Emdown to a midFsummer night's Gscene
CIt's all Amdown to a ShakeCspearian Ddream
CIt's all Emdown to a midFsummer night's Gscene
CIt's all Amdown to a ShakeCspearian Ddream
CIt's all Emdown to a midFsummer night's Gscene
CIt's all Amdown to a ShakeCspearian Ddream...
