On the switches between the B and the E there are 3/4 bar of B and then 5/4 of E. Have fun - It's a great song! intro B / E / B / E B / E / B / E B / E / B / E 1st verse:

^B Come along with me^E ^B Down into the world of ^Eseeing ^B Come and you'll be ^Efree ^B Take the time to ^Efind the feeling ^D See everything ^Aon it's own ^Bm And you'll find you ^Gknow the way ^D And you'll know the ^Athings you're shown Bm G B / E / B / E Owe everything to the day

Chorus:

^BSee the carpet o^Ef the sun ^B The green grass ^Esoft and sweet ^BSands upon the ^Eshores of time ^B Of ocean mo^Euntain deep ^G Part of the ^Eworld that you ^Blive in G E B / E / B / E You are the part that you're giving

2nd Verse: (Same chords) Come into the day Feel the sunshine warmth around you Sounds from far away Music of the love that found you The seed that you plant today Tomorrow will be a tree And living goes on this way It's all part of you and me Chorus: (Repeat the same chords, and then:) A / D / E / E / B / B D (long - pause) Chorus: (Repeat the same chords, and then:) B E B / E See the carpet of the sun B E B / E See the carpet of the sun B E B / E See the carpet of the sun B E G / G / E / E / B (end) See the carpet of the sun On the lyric sheet that comes with the record, there is also this verse, which is not sung, but you may try it as well: Come along and try Looking into ways of giving Maybe we will fly Find a dream that we will live in We'll look into the eyes of time Past ages have turned to dust And born somewhere on the line The loving that grows with us ---------------------------- Any ideas, mistakes found, corrections, greatful thanks or requests are welcome.
