| Marigolds are very much in love |
| Am7 | |
| But he doesn't | mind |
| F | B | |
| Picking up sister he makes his way to the see-saw | land |
| E | E7 | A | |
| All the | way up | she | smiles |
| G | F | Em | |
| She goes up as he goes | down, | down |
| Bb | A | D | Cmaj7 | |
| Sits on a stick in the river |
| Am7 | |
| Laughter in | his sleep |
| F | |
| Sister's throwing stones |
| G | B | B7 | |
| Hoping for a | hit |
| E | |
| He doesn't k | now |
| A | |

| She grows up for another | man, |
| Em | |
| And he's | down |
| Bb | A | D | Eb | Cmaj7 | |
| An | other time, | another day |
