E E Bm E A D E A

[Verse 1]
A                           D        A
The blackbird she flies wherever she wants to
Bm                           A
The mockingbird singing, oh, any old song
                                     D          D/C#
And the swallow she's nesting in the rafters of my house
Bm                       E             A
Summer is coming and the geese are all gone
           B          E
You got to fly and let fly

[Verse 2]
        A                          D          A
Ah, the mower's broke down and the yard's run away with me
     Bm       D                A
I've taken to sitting and just watching it grow
                                D            D/C#
And the rabbits are eating like kings in the driveway
         Bm                  E           A
And I've just about found me no place to go
              B           E
You've got to live and let live

[Chorus]
E                          Bm           E
Come sit by my side in the shade of all greens
   A               D                E         A
It smells like the honeysuckle have gone to extremes
    E                       Bm             E
And I've found a reason and you've made it rhyme
    A         D      E               A
And we can go crazy, tomorrow's just fine

[Verse 3]
A
I'm going to sit on the front porch
          D              A
Until the lightning bugs show up
       Bm          D                A
And it really gets dark and there's dogs in the trash
                                     D           D/C#
It's the first and the last time all rolled into this time
Bm                      E           A
You make me feel like I just took a bath
           B            E
You got to laugh and let laugh

[Chorus]
E                          Bm           E
Come sit by my side in the shade of all greens
   A               D                E         A
It smells like the honeysuckle have gone to extremes
    E                       Bm             E
And I've found a reason and you've made it rhyme
    A         D        E       A
And we can go laughin' any old time

[Bridge]
           B           E
You got to love and let love
    A         D      E       A
And we can go lovin' any ol' time
           B          E
You got to fly and let fly
