1. Imagine a still summer's day,
        F          Am       F           E
   when nothing is moving, least of all me.
     Am        C           D
   I lay on my back in the hay,
       F            Am
   The warm sun was soothing,
      C    F  E              A  G  F     E
   It made me feel good, the day I met Marie.

2. The sound of her whispered "Hello"
        F         Am     F       E
   Came tiptoeing softly into my head.
      Am       C            D
   I opened my eyes kind of slow,
       F             Am
   And there she was smiling,
      C    F  E              A  G  F     C
   It made me feel good, the day I met Marie,

   With the laughing eyes, she tossed her hair and tantalized,
       G                                          F               C
   She came, she touched me then she'd gone, just like the summer breeze.

       F                  Em
   I remember her kiss so soft on my brow
           F                   F7
   And the way that she said
                           D             F7          C    Am
   "Baby, go to sleep now,   baby, go to sleep now."

3. I awoke with a chill in the air
       F           Am     F           E
   The warm sun no longer hung in the sky
     Am               C           D
   I reached out, but she was not there
         F              Am
   She'd gone where she came from
       C F     E            A    G    F       C
   But I still feel good to think I'd known Marie

   She came, she touched me then she'd gone, just like the summer breeze.
