Intro:

Am  G  F  G (x2)

Verse 1:

Am
 Hello, my love,
          Dm        Em   F  G
I heard a kiss from you.
Am                            Dm
 Red magic satin playing near,
Em   F  G
 Too.

Am
 All through the morning rain I gaze,
Dm   Em          F   G
 The sun doesn't shi-ine.
Am
 Rainbows and waterfalls,
    Dm         Em    F  G
Run through my mind.

Verse 2:

Am
 In the garden I see,
Dm    Em     F                G
 West purple shower bells and tea.
Am
 Orange birds and river cousins,
Dm          Em     F  G
 Dressed in green.

Am
 Pretty music; I hear,
Dm  Em        F  G
 So happy and lo-oud.
Am
 Blue flower echo,
       Dm     Em     F  G
From a cherry cloud.

Chorus 1:

F
 Feel sunshine,
Sparkle pink and blue,
Playgrounds will laugh,
       C
If you try to ask;
      C7
Is it cool? Is it cool?

F
 If you arrive and don't see me,
             D7
I'm going to be,
        Em         Dm
With my baby; I am free.
       Em                    Dm
Flying in her arms, over the sea.

Verse 2:

Am
 Stained window yellow candy screen,
Dm   Em          F  G
 See speakers of ki-ite.
Am
 With velvet roses,
        Dm      Em     F  G
Diggin' freedom flight.

Am
 A present from you,
Dm     Em    F      G
 Straw-berry Letter 22.
Am
 The music plays,
         Dm    Em   F  G
I sit in for a few.
