The day I met Marie    (intro)    (sample)

 

   Am  ~                C                     D

1.       Imagine a still summer' s day,

                F             Am        F               E

    when nothing is moving, least of all me.

      Am            C                D

    I lay on my back in the hay,

         F                    Am               C      F    E                  Am G   F       E

 the warm sun was soothing, it made me feel good the day  I met Marie.

 

            Am                  C                  D

2. The sound of the whispered "Hallo"

              F               Am    F            E

    came tip-toeing  softly into my head.

    Am                C                   D

    I opened my eyes kind of slow,

             F                    Am                C      F    E                  Am  G   F

   and there she was smiling, and made me feel good, the day  I met

 

      C

Marie, with her laughing eyes she tossed her hair,

                                G

and tantalized she came to touch me,

                                  F                           C          C - G - F - C

then she'd gone just like the summer breeze.  (=Instr. refrain)

 

          F                             Em                                     F                      

  I remember her tears so soft on my brow, and the way that she said,

F                                       Dm                      F               - C

    "Baby, go to sleep now,      baby, go to sleep now."

 

       Am                   C            D          F                 Am       F                E

3. I woke with the chill in the air,the warm sun no longer hung in the sky.

      Am                      C                   D

    I reached out but she was not there,

               F                        Am                 C  F    E                    

    she'd gone where she came from, but I still feel good

         Am    G       F

    to think I've known   + CHORUS
