      G                      Dm7
The Children of the summer's end
Em                        Am
Gathered in the dampened grass
    Bm                            A#
We played Our songs and felt the London sky
 C                           G
Resting on our hands it was God's land
        C                       G    Dm7
It was ragged and naive it was Heaven

 G                          Dm7
Touch, We touched the very soul
   Em                     Am
Of holding each and every life
   Bm                         A#
We claimed the very source of joy ran through
    C                          G
It didn't, but it seemed that way
   C                           G D# C
I kissed a lot of people that day

C               Em
Oh, to capture just one drop
   C7           Am7                F
Of all the ecstasy that swept that afternoon
    G                F              C
To paint that love upon a white balloon
                    Em             C7
And fly it from the toppest top of all the tops
     Am7              F
That man has pushed beyond his brain
   G            F                  C
Satori must be something just the same

     D                    Dmaj7
We scanned the skies with rainbow eyes
     D7             D6              G6
And saw machines of every shape and size
    A                  G                D
We talked with tall Venusians passing through
                   Dmaj7
And Peter tried to climb aboard
         D7                D6
But the Captain shook his head
     G6
And away they soared
  A                  G               D
Climbing through the ivory vibrant cloud
 A                    G               D
Someone passed some bliss among the crowd
        A                  G
And We walked back to the road, unchained

     D              C
The sun machine is coming down,
           G                   D
and we're gonna have a party, ah ah ah - x4
