Intro:

Am  G  F  G (x2)

Verse 1:

Am
 Hello, my love,
          Dm
I heard a kiss,
     Em   F  G
From you,
Am
 Red magic satin,
             Dm
Playing near,
Em   F  G
 Too.

Am
 All through the,
Morning rain I gaze,
Dm   Em
 The sun doesn't,
F    G
 Shi-ine,
Am
 Rainbows,
And waterfalls,
    Dm         Em    F  G
Run through my mind.

Verse 2:

Am
 In the garden I see,
Dm    Em     F
 West purple shower,
G
 Bells and tea,
Am
 Orange birds,
And river cousins,
Dm          Em     F  G
 Dressed in green.

Am
 Pretty music;
I hear,
Dm  Em
 So happy,
    F  G
And lo-oud,
Am
 Blue flower echo,
       Dm     Em     F  G
From a cherry cloud.

Chorus 1:

F
 Feel sunshine,
Sparkle pink and blue,
Playgrounds will laugh,
       C
If you try to ask;
      C7
Is it cool?
Is it cool?

F
 If you arrive,
And don't see me,
             D7
I'm going to be,
        Em
With my baby;
     Dm
I am free,
       Em
Flying in her arms,
         Dm
Over the sea.

Verse 2:

Am
 Stained window,
Yellow candy screen,
Dm   Em
 See speakers,
   F  G
Of ki-ite,
Am
 With velvet,
Roses diggin',
Dm       Em     F  G
 Freedom flight.

Am
 A present from you,
Dm     Em
 Straw-berry,
F       G
 Letter 22,
Am
 The music plays,
         Dm    Em   F  G
I sit in for a few.
