Intro:

Am  G  F  G (x2)

Verse 1:

Am                         Dm        Em  F  G
 Hello, my love, I heard a kiss from you.
Am                            Dm  Em   F  G
 Red magic satin playing near,     too.
Am                                    Dm   Em          F   G
 All through the morning rain, I gaze; the sun doesn't shi-ine.
Am                           Dm         Em   F  G
 Rainbows and waterfalls run through my mind.

Verse 2:

Am                    Dm   Em     F                 G
 In the garden I see, west purple shower, bells and tea.
Am                               Dm         Em    F  G
 Orange birds and river cousins, dressed in green.
Am                     Dm Em        F  G
 Pretty music; I hear; so happy and lo-oud.
Am                       Dm     Em    F  G
 Blue flower echo from a cherry cloud.

Chorus 1:

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

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

Verse 2:

Am                                   Dm  Em          F  G
 Stained window yellow candy screen, see speakers of ki-ite.
Am                          Dm      Em     F  G
 With velvet roses, diggin' freedom flight.
Am                   Dm     Em    F      G
 A present from you;  Straw-berry Letter 22.
Am                         Dm    Em  F  G
 The music plays; I sit in for a few.

Bridge 1:

F  Am      Bb     Dm     C7     F
    Ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh,
F  Am      Bb     Dm     C7     F
    Ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh.
F  Am      Bb     Dm     C7     F
    Ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh,
F  Am      Bb     Dm     C7     F
    Ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh.
