Tabbed by: John McNally
Email: jm12u@hotmail.com
Tuning: Standard
Quite an easy song and quite interesting harmonies. Typical 'Psychedelic' Song of it's time.
The Am and G\B chords of the verse sound best at the 5th and 7th frets respectively
Am
I will fly a yellow paper sun in your sky
G\B Am
When the wind is high, when the wind is high
I will float a silken silver moon near your window
G\ Am
If your night is dark, if your night is dark

G C G
In letters of gold on a snow white kite
F G
I will write "I love you"
Am F
And send it soaring high above you
E
For all to read
Am
I will scatter rice paper stars in your heaven
G\B Am
If there are no stars, if there are no stars
All of these and seven wonders more will I find
G\B Am
When the wind is high, when the wind is high
G C G
In letters of gold on a snow white kite
F G
I will write "I love you"
Am F
And send it soaring high above you
E
For all to read
