Strum
D-DU-UDU
I'd like that if we could cycle down some lane
I'd like that if we could ride into the rain
No macs, getting wet
I'd be your Albert if you'd be Victoria, ha ha
We'd laugh because each drop would make me grow up really high,
really high like a really high thing
Say, a sunflower
Note: the guitar chord(s) for the word "sunflower" are hard to hear
because the big vocal harmony kind of covers everything. I think a
basic E will work, but you could also try E B/E (E for "sun" and
B/E for "flower") which is the basic harmony of the vocal part.
I'd like that
(Same chords as verse 1)
I'd like that
What would you like?
If we could lay before my fire
I'd like that
What would you like?
If you could slide me from this wire
Toasting fork, I'll be done
I wouldn't Hector if you'd be Helen of Troy, oh boy
We'd laugh because each flame would make me grow up
Really high, really high like a really high thing
Say, a sunflower
I'd like that
I'd smile so much my face would crack in two
Then you could fix it with your kissing glue
I'd like that
Yes, I'd like that
(Same chords as verse 1, exceot where indicated)
I'd like that
What would you like?
If we could float away in bed
I'd like that
What would you like?
If I could row your heart and head
With you laid on one arm
I'd be your Nelson if you'd be my Hamilton, what fun
We'd laugh because each stroke would make me grow up
Really high, really high like a really high thing
Say, a sunflower
Say, a sunflower
Let me hear you say it!
Say a sunflower I became
I'd be growing in your rain
repeat the sequence to fade, (with optional
fast flamenco-ish strums and hand-claps!)
