[Intro]
     Em    D        G     B

 
[Verse 1]
Em              D           G                  B7
     Out on the tar plains   ...the glides are moving,
Em        D            G            B
     All looking for a new place to drive,
Em                D        G             B7
     You sit be - side me,   ...so newly charming,
Em            D                 G             B
     Sweating dewdrops glisten, fresh in your side
 
[Chorus]
        G                       B7
And the sun drips down, bedding heavy behind,
    Em                       B7
The front of your dress, all shadowy lined,
         G              B                   Em           B
Then the droning engine throbs in time with your beating heart
 
   G     B        Em    B7       G     B        Em    B7
 
   B7
 
[Verse 2]
Em                D             G                 B7
     Way down the lane a way,      living for a - nother day,
Em              D               G             B
     The aphids swarm up in the   ...drifting haze,
Em                D               G                 B7
     Swim seagull in the sky to - wards that hollow western isle,
Em             D              G           B
     My envied Lady holds you fast in her gaze
 
[Chorus]
        G                       B7
And the sun drips down, bedding heavy behind,
    Em                       B7
The front of your dress, all shadowy lined,
         G              B                   Em           B
Then the droning engine throbs in time with your beating heart
 
[Chorus]
         G                       B7
Then the sun drips down, bedding heavy behind,
    Em                       B7
The front of your dress, all shadowy lined,
         G              B                   Em           B      B7
Then the droning engine throbs in time with your beating heart

[Verse 3]
   Em    D        G     B        Em    D        G     B

 
Em                D             G               B7
     And watching lovers part,    ...I feel you smiling,
Em                D                G            B
       What glass splinters lie so deep in your mind?
Em                D
      To tear out from your eyes,
       G                  B7
With a thought to stiffen brooding lies,
Em                 D                  G            B
     And I'll only watch you leave me further be - hind
 
[Chorus]
        G                       B7
And the sun drips down, bedding heavy behind,
    Em                       B7
The front of your dress, all shadowy lined,
         G              B                   Em           B
Then the droning engine throbs in time with your beating heart
 
[Chorus]
         G                       B7
Then the sun drips down, bedding heavy behind,
    Em                       B7
The front of your dress, all shadowy lined,
    G              B                   Em           B       B7
The droning engine throbs in time with your beating heart

C         C7/Bb      B          B7
    Sing  blue silver! 
C         C7/Bb      B7
    Sing, sing  blue silver!
