Funny day, looking for laughter and finding it there

Sunny day, braiding wild flowers and leaves in my hair

Picked up a pencil and wrote «I love you» in my finest hand
Am G C9 G
Wanted to send it but I don’t know where I stand
Telephone, even the sound of your voice is still new
All alone, in California and talking to you
And feeling too foolish and strange to say the words that I had planned
I guess it’s too early, cos I don’t know where I stand
B A CmaddF AmaddD C9 G C9 G
Do do do do do doooo do do do do do do do do do do do
Crickets call, courting their ladies in stardappled green
Thickets tall, until the morning comes up like a dream
All muted and misty, so drowsy now, I’ll take what sleep I can
I know that I miss you but I don’t know where I stand
CmaddF AmaddD G C9 G
I know that I miss you but I don’t know where I stand
B A CmaddF AmaddD C9 G E CmaddF A
Do do do do do do do do do do
