_ _ I walk out in the woods and I try to step [F#] loudly I lie on my [C#] back and stare at a little
cloud that sails gracefully _ _ [F#m] like a white [D#] _
[C#m] fleur de lis.
_ I'm surrounded, [D#] too [B] beautiful to say, then [C#m] in full throat the [F#m] thrush just blows me [C#m] away
with a song so [D#] pristine, _ [B] _ _ [C#m] much like [D#] Leonard _
_ [F#] Bernstein.
[Bm] _ _ _ [E] _
Ash, [B] _ _ [Bm] white pine [E] and hemlock [Bm] make my canopy, [E] _ _
[D] _ _ [B] _ _ perfect [E] space just in case there are [Bm] raindrops.
_ _ [E] _
Shade to [Bm] cool the sun [E] when it shines _ [Bm] _ _ equatorially, [E] _ _
_ _ [B] _ an invention [D] I can't fail to mention,

_ _ [C#m] I heard about a [D#m] banyan in India [B] somewhere [A] that's so huge one whole [C#] village collects
itself there completely [E] under its [B] arms _
_ _ _ [E] to be safe [F#] _
from a heart.
[A] He must be some [G#m] creator or maybe he's a she [C#m] but who cares?
Perhaps his [F#m] creation is something to see perfect [E] in every detail, [A] _ _
_ _ _ perfect [C#] in every _ [Bm] detail.
_ _ [E] _
Elm, _ [B] _ [Bm] oak and [C#m] _
magnolia [Bm] make my canopy, [E] _ _
