So, this is the title track (and possibly the best)

off the debut album from the most under-rated band in the

world, so I hope that someone out there decided to search

for tab to their songs and was pleasantly surprised to find

something waiting for them (or horrified at how wrong it is,

but I'm sure it's correct.) If anyone wants to pick fault

with the tab, or make any comments or suggestions about it,

please send all that to: pigeonpie@isaac.globalnet.co.uk

Play Riff 1 ten times

then play Riff 2 once

Play Riff 2 twice

(1st time)

Inside the open air on Sunday

Cruising would go down well, if only

Clouds overhead in turn

Would head downstream

(2nd time)

Outside on picnic lawns so green

Eating 'til half past three, it seems

Skies overhead so blue

Would shine so clean

Play Riff 3 once

So let's just stay here,

Take in the sun and dream of distant rain

So let's remain here,

Take in the sun and send cold winds away

then play Riff 1 four times

Play Riff 2 twice

(1st time)

Falling asleep in light that dazzles

Like it the way your mind unravels

Waking in time to see

It's time for tea

(2nd time)

Rising above a tree off yonder

Sun in the sky, it seems would ponder

How in the world did things

Get so serene?

then play:-

445xxx

And we'll get by and maybe

667xxx

See another sunny day

REPEAT CHORUS

then play Riff 1 four times
