Verse 1
[F#m]And I will stroll the merry [A]way
And [E]jump the hedges first
And I will drink [F#]the clear
Clean [A]water for [E]to quench my thirst
And I shall watch [F#m]the [A]ferry-boats
And they'll [A]get [E]high
On a bluer [F#m]ocean
[A]Against tomorrow's sky
And [E]I will never grow so [F#m]old again
And I will walk and [E]talk in gardens all [F#m]wet with rain

And just to [F#m]dig it all an' [A]not to wonder, [F#maj7]that's [A]just [E]fine
And I'll be [F#m]satisfied not [A]to read [E]in between the lines
And I will [F#m]walk and talk [C#m]in gardens all [E]wet with rain
And I will never, [F#m]ever, [A]ever, ever grow so old again

Ohoow sweet thing, ohoow sugar baby, sweet thing
Sugar-baby [A]with your [E]champagne eyes
And your [E]saint-like smile
