G                F6       C/E                G
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...

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
