D         Bm      G            A
Balancing bicycle leant on the verge

Back down the avenue back to the potting shed 
D           Bm           A             D
Back to the house on the fringe of the park

My what a spread for the friends of Myfanwy
D           Bm         A           D   
Some in the alcove and some in the hall

[Verse 7]
D                     Dmaj7  
Then what sardines in half lighted passages 
D                     Dmaj7         A
Locking of fingers in long hide and seek
G           A          D        Bm 
You will protect me my silken Myfanwy
