You would not be-lieve your eyes,
7   -8  -8   7  -8 -9   9
if ten mil-lion fi-re-flies,
-10  9  -9   7   7  7  9  -9  -8
lit up the world as I fell a-sleep.

7        9     9   -9  9  -9  7
'Cause they'd fill the o-pen air,
-8    -8     7      -8  -9   9    
and leave teardrops e-very-where.
7       7   -10  9  -9
You'd think me rude but 
7   7    -10   9    -8    -9
I would just stand and stare.

-6    6  -5   7  -6  6   -5   6
I'd like to make my-self be-lieve
4     -5  5   -4     4     5  -4
that pla-net Earth turns slow-ly.
-4    -4  -5 -6    6   -5   -4
It's hard to say that I'd rather
-4     -4   -5   6     -4   
stay awake when I'm asleep, 
4    -4  -5   -5   -6  6 -5   4 -5   6
cause e-very-thing is ne-ver as it seems.
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
