[Verse 1]
D      Dmaj7
Kiss me out of the
 bearded barley
D7       Dmaj7
Nightly, beside the
 green, green grass
D             Dmaj7
Swing, swing, swing
 the spinning step
D7             D
You wear those shoes
           G
and I will wear
that dress,


[Chorus]
Em   A    D
Kiss me   beneath
the
Bm
milky twilight
Em   A    D
Lead me   out on
the
moonlit floor
Em        A
Lift your open
 hand,
D
strike up the band
And make the
Bm
fireflies
 dance,
D
silver moon's
  G        A
sparkling
        D
So kiss me

[Bridge]
