Lately I’ve been thinking how much I miss my lady
Bm7 Em G7/D C G
Amoreena’s in the cornfield brightening the daybreak
G F6 C/E G
Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours
Bm7 Em G7/D C G
Rolling through the hay like a puppy child
D A/C#
And when it rains the rain falls down
C G
Washing out the cattle town
D A/C# C G
And she’s far away somewhere in her eiderdown
G#° Esus4 E7
And she dreams of crystal streams
Am C7/G F
Of days gone by when we would lean
Fm7 Fm7/Eb Dsus4 D7
Laughing fit to burst upon each other
I can see you sitting eating apples in the evening
The fruit juice flowing slowly, slowly, slowly
Down the bronze of your body
Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours
Rolling through the hay like a puppy child
And when it rains the rain falls down…
Oh if only I could nestle in the cradle of your cabin
My arms around your shoulders the windows wide and open
While the swallow and the sycamore are playing in the valley
Oh I miss you Amoreena like a king bee misses honey
And when it rains the rain falls down…
And when it rains the rain falls down…
G — F — C/E — G
G — F — C/E — G
Lately I’ve been thinking how much I miss my lady
Amoreena’s in the cornfield brightening the daybreak
Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours
Rolling through the hay like a puppy child
