[Verse 1]
       Em                           D                 Am
If I'm not getting outside then the sun can't lay its light
Bm           Em              Am             D
Like a hand upon my head and bake my spirit bright
       Em                         D             Am
If I'm not getting outside then I can’t open my eyes
Bm               Em                             Am           D
Past the walls around my mind and stretch them out upon the sky
                   Em                             D      Am
Feel the breeze go still a while, then the rattle of the leaves
Bm             Em                             Am      D
Song upon song from the trees, looping layered choruses

[Chorus]
  B        D           G
I need the sun upon my face
  B       D             G
I feed my feet upon the ground
       B       D       Em
Get me high on air and space
   B        D             Em
Surround me with the open sound

[Verse 2]
              Em                           D              Am
'Cause if I’m not getting outside then the birds cannot remind me
Bm               Em                       Am             D
That the dawn is filled with song and the wildlife goes on
       Em                           D                 Am
If I'm not getting outside then the flowers can't confide
      Bm        Em                        Am   D
Their sensual serenity the sense of possibility
             Em                             D      Am
Lay upon the lawn with me, stare up at the sky and see:
Bm             Em                       Am      D
There is no philosophy like the branches of a tree


[Bridge]
    G    Am        Bm             G
Mamacita, let’s go talk along the lake
        C                                 D
Like we did so long ago, there’s still so much I want to know
     G     Am        Bm                G
Mija linda, let’s pretend that we just met
        C                                D
For the first time in a long time and we fall right in love again

[Chorus]
  B        D           G
I need the sun upon my face
  B       D             G
I feed my feet upon the ground
       B       D       Em
Get me high on air and space
   B        D             Em
Surround me with the open sound

[Verse 3]
       Em                             D              Am
If I'm not getting outside I need to slip out on the sly
Bm            Em                       Am             D
Sip a cup and simmer down circulate around the grounds
       Em                           D          Am
If I'm not getting outside then I'm not really alive
Bm            Em                          Am   D
I’m a part of everything I feel it in my wiring
             Em                             D      Am
Suddenly it starts to rain hushing me with everything
Bm          Em                            Am      D
Quieting my busy brain, I’m nothing but a weathervane

[Chorus]
  B        D           G
I need the sun upon my face
  B       D             G
I feed my feet upon the ground
       B       D       Em
Get me high on air and space
   B        D             Em
Surround me with the open sound
