Verse 1
D 
Bb 
D 
A 
D 
The air was
Bb 
Gm 
D 
cool on lily pools,
Bbaug 
Bb 
Gm 
Hazy lazy,
D 
And here and there
A 
he'd stop to stare
D 
G 
A 
Admiring all the flowers,
D 
G 
A 
Wandering round for hours.
D 
Bbaug 
Gm 
The sun was warm across the lawn
D 
Bbaug 
Bb 
Gm 
Scented blended
D 
He saw her linger
A 
D 
G 
A 
And With her finger open up a rose,
D 
G 
A 
D 
A 
Standing on tip toes
D 
G 
A 
D 
G 
A 
E 
A 
Suddenly the rain came flurrying,
E 
A 
Sending the two of them scurrying,

Verse 2
G 
D 
Bm 
Helter skelter for the shelter
G 
D 
Bm 
And feeling bolder in the big pagoda,
D 
G 
A 
He gently enquired her name,
D 
G 
A 
And they waited till the sunshine came.
Kew gardens
D 
And for a while
Bbaug 
Gm 
D 
The griffin  smiled,
Bbaug 
Gm 
Kindly, blindly,
D 
A 
Till the evening bell broke the spell,
D 
G 
A 
And sadly they said goodbye
D 
G 
A 
And one of the griffins cried.
D 
In Kew Gardens.
