Music by Elton John Lyrics by Bernie Taupin Available on the Album Tumbleweed Connection G-F-C-G G-F-C-G D-A-C-G D-A-C-G G F6 C/E G Lately I've been thinking how much I miss my lady Bm7 Em G7/D C G Amoreena's in the cornfield brightening the daybreak G F6 C/E G Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours Bm7 Em G7/D C G Rolling through the hay like a puppy child D A/C# And when it rains the rain falls down C G Washing out the cattle town D A/C# C G And she's far away somewhere in her eiderdown G# Esus4 E7 And she dreams of crystal streams Am C7/G F Of days gone by when we would lean Fm7 Fm7/Eb Dsus4D7 Laughing fit to burst upon each other I can see you sitting eating apples in the evening The fruit juice flowing slowly, slowly, slowly Down the bronze of your body Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours Rolling through the hay like a puppy child And when it rains the rain falls down... Oh if only I could nestle in the cradle of your cabin My arms around your shoulders the windows wide and open While the swallow and the sycamore are playing in the valley Oh I miss you Amoreena like a king bee misses honey And when it rains the rain falls down... And when it rains the rain falls down... G-F-C-G G-F-C-G Lately I've been thinking how much I miss my lady Amoreena's in the cornfield brightening the daybreak Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours Rolling through the hay like a puppy child Copyright (c) Mark van Gerven Netherlands
