The Day I Met Marie

• Am

CAPO: 3rd Fret

    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        
   The warm sun was soothing,
      C    F  E              Am    F     E
   It made me feel good, the day I met Marie.
 

       Am             C          D
2. The sound of her whispered "Hello"
         F       Am    F       E
   Came echoing softly into my head.
      Am       C            D
   I opened my eyes kind of slow,
       F             Am     
   And there she was smiling,
      C    F  E              Am     F    C
   It made me feel good, the day I met Marie, 

 
REFRAIN:
    C                      
   With her laughing eyes, she tossed her hair and tantalized, 
        G                                         F               C        
   She came, she touched me then she'd gone, just like the summer breeze.  
    
   (=Instr. refrain) C - G - F - C
 

BRIDGE:
        F                 Em                                                           
   I remember her kiss so soft on my brow,
            F
   And the way that she said, 
                          -Dm             F        -C
   "Baby, go to sleep now,   baby, go to sleep now."
 

      Am          C            D 
3. I woke with a chill in the air,
        F           Am    F           E
   The warm sun no longer hung in the sky.
      Am              C           D
   I reached out, but she was not there,
         F              Am 
   She'd gone where she came from ,
       C  F    E            Am        F       C
   But I still feel good to think I'd known Marie


REFRAIN:
    C                              
   With her laughing eyes, she tossed her hair and tantalized, 
        G                                          F              C        
   She came, she touched me then she'd gone, just like the summer breeze.
