Am                        Dm
Spring fever, pure ether, scent is in your hair
                            Am   G
Makes me want to shout your name
Am                            Dm
Bells ringing, birds singing, down the country lane
                 G   F
Summoning you to the game

F G F G

Am                        Dm
Slow cricket, old wicket, on the village green
                              Am  G
See the scene through cups of tea
Am                         Dm
So English, distinguished, hands upon their knees
               G      C
Grumbling like bumble bees

C G F G E  \
Am Dm F G  / x2

Am                      Dm
One dozen bees buzzing, around a golden hive
                           Am  G
Watch them take a dive and see
Am                     Dm
Sweet honey, so sunny, glistens in the bowl
                   G    F
Shining out it's 'glory be'

F G F G

Am                        Dm
The vicar, skips quicker, cassocks in the wind
                           Am  G
'I have never sinned' says he
Am                     Dm
Cucumber, slips under, nose above his chin
                       G    C
Followed by his wife's sloe gin

C G F G E  \
Am Dm F G  / x4

The treason of her kiss

                               Colder and longer now)
    Am          G   C               Bb
But please remember that no time is long
