   A                                   Asus4  A
I wish I could have been there on the high  -  way
                          D              A   Asus4 
When the people came from miles around to see
      D                             A         
The children of the flowers come together
 
                           D               A       Asus4 

   A                                Asus4  A
I wish I could have been there in the sunshine
                          D              A   Asus4 
With the sound of lovely laughter in the air
         D                         A         
And the music makers first began to play

          D              A    Asus4 A    Asus4
            To hear them play

       D                                 A         
And I wish I could have been there in the rain
          D                              A         
When the clouds were silver castles in the sky
       D                                A         
And I wish I could have heard the people sing
        D                                A     D
As the rhythm and the words came floating by 
 
   D                                  Asus4  A  
I wish I could have been there in the star - light
                        D          A    Asus4
When the countryside was quiet once again
         D           A         
And the music and the makers
    D            A         
The poets and the singers
          D               A         
And the children of the flowers
         E        /
Had all gone
