[Intro]
A x4

[Verse]
(Don't play the high strings)
          A
She is so beautiful

With flowers in her hair
D                       C
Her perfume smells like summer air
        A
And her lips are the sweetest like honey and milk
        D                              C
And her skin white like snowflakes but soft as silk
        A
And her hair is as black as a reservoir
   D                         C
At midnight and still and it takes me so far
   A
So far that I don't believe that there is an end
       D                         C
But if there is I will climb and dive in again

[Chorus]
(Play the high strings)
A                       C
We picked daisies and I made a chain
D             C                   A
Asleep in the grass, both feeling insane
       D          C                      A
And if this isn't love don't show me the truth
  D                  C
I said if this isn't love
                    A
I'm gonna need some proof

A x4

[Verse]
(Don't play the high strings)

          A
Tiny wild flowers all tied in your hair
     D                C
Like stars in the sky floating there
  A
A constellation gorgeous and new
    D
You called it The Lovers
  C
I believed it was true
A
All of a sudden you rose from our nest
   D
No longer felt love
       C
I felt sorrow instead
       A
As you walked you combed out your hair
    D                         C
And all the flowers fell like birds through the air

[Chorus]
(Play the high strings)
A                       C
We picked daisies and I made a chain
D             C                   A
Asleep in the grass, both feeling insane
       D          C                      A
And if this isn't love don't show me the truth
  D                  C
I said if this isn't love
                    A
I'm gonna need some proof
