Cirrus Minor
Em Eb+ G/D C#m7 C7
In a churchyard by a river, lazing in the haze of midday,

Laughing in the grasses and the graze

Yellow bird, you are not alone in singing and in flying on,
Cm7 B7 Em
In laughing and in leaving
Em Eb+ G/D C#m7 C7
Willow weeping in the water, waving to the river daughters,
Cm7 B7 Em
Swaying in the ripples and the reeds
Em Eb+ G/D C#m7 C7
On a trip to__ Cirrus Minor, saw a crater in the sun
Cm7 B7 Em
A thousand miles of moonlight later
Em Bm D A G D B
