Tom : Db
D C# F#
She's closing all the shades
D C# F#
she finds the daylight just a little frightning
D C# F#
she pulls the pedals overhead each day
D C# F#
but she's opening her business is blooming nightly
C# F# G#
And every time it does it gets me hazy
C# F# G#
the color of her head changing every day
C# F# G#
a little breath of wind and I just go crazy
Ebm C# F#
the greening of America's progressing smoothly
C#
cuz she's choosing me
D C# F#
It's later then I said
D C# F#
and all the world's a shade of black and purple
D C# F#
everybody else has gone to bed
D C# F#
but when she makes me happy I just fly in circles
C# F# G#
And every time she does I just get teary
C# F# G#
the color of head changing everyday
C# F# G#
a little puff of wind and she's always near me
Ebm C# F#
the greening of America is progressing nicely
C#
it's all right with me
G# C# F# G# C# F# G# C# F# Ebm
C# F# F# .
D C# F#
if there's another life,
D C# F#
and if get to chose I'd like to be a daisy
D C# F#
I'll stay up waiting for my dusky wife
D C# F#
to open and get high with just my jasmine baby
C# F# G#
And every time she does it gets me crazy
C# F# G#
the color of her head changing every day
C# F# G#
a little breath of wind and I just get crazy
Ebm C# F#
the greening of America's progressing nicely
C#
it's alright with me-every time she
G# C# F#
she does I just get teary
G# C# F#
the color of her head changing every day
G# C# F#
a little breath of wind and shes always near me
Ebm C# F#
the greening of America's progressing smoothly
C# D C# F#
cuz she's choosing me
