_ _ _ _ [D] _ When _
_ [A] Avelaine _ [G] was young and [D] gay,
_ _ _ And _
_ [A] _ _ _ [G] thunderstorms filled up the [D] day,
_ [G] The cattle _ [D] roamed _ _ [G] outside the [D] town,
_ _ [A] Sleeping in the [Em] midday _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] sun, _ _ _ _ _
_ Then tracks were [A] laid _
_ [G] across the [D] plains, _
_ By broken old [A] men _
_ [G] in torrid [D] rain, _
[G] The towns grew [D] up, _
_ [G] people were [D] still, _
_ [A] Sleeping in the [Em] midday sun,
_ Sleeping in the [D] midday sun, _
_ [A] Sleeping in the [Em] midday sun,
_ Sleeping in the [D] midday sun,
_ [F] All join [G] in, _ [Bb] and we'll all,
_ [D] _ _ _
[F] Yes, we'll all join [G] in, _
[Bb] The _ frungal [A] land, _
[G] Like _ soldiers once, _
_ [D] _ long, long ago, _
_ [G] Rolled through the town, _
_ [D] _ rolled down the hill, _
[A] Sleeping in the midday [Em] sun, _
Sleeping in the midday [D] sun, _
[A] Sleeping in the midday [Em] sun, _
Sleeping in the midday [D] sun, _
_ _ _ _ _ Gold came [A] and went, _ _ [G] _ quickly _ [D] spent,
_ The people broke [A] down, _ _ [G] and often [D] drowned,
_ _ [G] From wealth and [D] the pain, _ [G] of old _
_ [D] Avelaine,
_ [A] It was sleeping in the [Em] midday sun,
_ Sleeping in the [D] midday sun,
_ [A] Sleeping in the [Em] midday sun,
_ _ Sleeping in the [D] midday sun,
_ [A] Sleeping in the [Em] midday sun,
_ _ Sleeping in the [D] midday sun,
_ _ [A] Sleeping in the [Em] midday sun,
_ _ Sleeping in the midday [D] sun.
