   Am  ~          C                 D
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          C      F    E                  Am G   F       E
 the warm sun was soothing, it made me feel good the day  I met Marie.
 

      Am             C             D
2. The sound of the whispered "Hallo"
     F               Am    F            E
    came tip-toeing  softly into my head.
    Am          C               D
    I opened my eyes kind of slow,
     F                Am         C      F    E                  Am  G   F
   and there she was smiling, and made me feel good, the day  I met
 

    C 
Marie, with her laughing eyes she tossed her hair,
                             G
and tantalized she came to touch me,
          F                           C          C - G - F - C
then she'd gone just like the summer breeze.  (=Instr. refrain)
 

   F                    Em                                     F                       
  I remember her tears so soft on my brow, and the way that she said, 
F                    Dm                F         - C
    "Baby, go to sleep now,      baby, go to sleep now."
 

       Am          C            D          F         Am       F          E
3. I woke with the chill in the air,the warm sun no longer hung in the sky.
      Am        C                   D
    I reached out but she was not there,
     F                        Am              C  F    E                     
    she'd gone where she came from , but I still feel good
         Am    G      F
    to think I've known   + CHORUS
