The initial transcription was done by Patrick M Ryan and with out his help would not be
possible. I made some changes in the chords and those I could not name are in Tab form.
I think this is pretty darn accurate. This is hoping you already know the song. ;) If any
one has any suggestion please contact Pat or myself:

G G C C C
A hot and windy August afternoon
G G G C C CB C D
Has the trees in constant motion
E E A
With a flash of silver leaves
E A
As they're rocking in the breeze

riff [A] (twice)
A D
The boy lies in the grass with one blade
A D
Stuck between his teeth
A D
A vague sensation quickens
A D
In his young and restless heart
G C
And a bright and nameless vision
G C
Has him longing to depart

{Riff A}

F F F F F G G G G G F
You move me --
You move me --
With your buildings and your eyes
Autumn woods and winter skies
You move me --
You move me --
Open sea and city lights
Busy streets and dizzy heights
ou call me --
ou call me --
G C
The fawn-eyed girl with sun-browned legs
G C
Dances on the edge of his dream
E A
And her voice rings in his ears
E A
Like the music of the spheres

A A G A G D
A A G A G D
A D
The boy lies in the grass, unmoving
A D
Staring at the sky
A D
His mother starts to call him
A D
As a hawk goes soaring by
G C
The boy pulls down his baseball cap
G C
And covers up his eyes

{Riff A} Hold G form like this:
Am G *move pinky off chord
Am Am Am Am G G * * 5-----3------------3------------
Am Am Am Am G G * * 5-----3------------3------------
5-----4------------4------------
Too many hands on my time 7-----5-----*------3------------
Too many feelings 7-----5------------5------------
Too many things on my mind 5-----3------------3------------

F F F F G G G G
When I leave I don't know
What I'm hoping to find
When I leave I don't know
What I'm leaving behind...

[impossible solo] ;-)

It's better to make up your own solo anyway. :)


Hope you enjoy!

Good call Bunkle! Although I do believe love is an important aspect of this song, I also believe the overwhelming feelings of youth, freedom, being trapped in a world that has lost this "feeling" and the trapped nature of being a kid in a world that doesn't hear you. This is one of my favorite songs period and even at 40 I can still feel the grass beneath me and the wind on that mythical hill.

I interpret it as a young person moving beyond simple living and going to the city to strike his fortune.

I think it's about a kid who has just recently started liking girls, and there is one particular girl that he likes and he is dreaming about her.

this is about the growing up of boys to men, it was summer, she was usualy out playing baseball, but this day was different, he dreamed of a girl for the first time and towards the end of the song his mother calls him and its back to reality for him, hes still just a boy

A really awesome song. It's just some kid dreaming -- but it has to mean something deeper than that. But I have no idea wtf it's supposed to mean. none at all. that sort of freaks me out.
