Lyrics
Salawetu Asus2 7 thing C6 D A thing Time after time salawetu C6 G A thing Yours and mine salawetu Green as the pines salawetu Between the lines salawetu Bb A thing Hazy are the ways of lazy summer days salawetu Bb F Bb F Shifting as sand, touch it if you can Eb A D G A thing Lost in the thrall of the place that is all salawetu Take all you need salawetu Here you’ll succeed salawetu
