Verse 1 chords: [play intro tab over chords]
                                                      
   Isn't a lovely night, and so alive with fireflies 
                         
Providing us their holy light 
                                            
And here we made a bed of boughs and thistle down 
                                        
That we had found to lay upon the dewy ground 

Chorus Chords:
                                                                    
And isn't it a lovely way    we got in from our play,   isn't it babe? 
                
A sweet little baby 

Verse 2: (use verse 1 chords)
And wasn't it a lovely breeze that swept the leaves of arbor eaves 
And bent a brush o'er blushing knees 
And here we died our little deaths and we were left to catch our breath 
So swiftly lifting from our chests 

Chorus Chords:
And isn't a lovely way we got in from our play isn't it babe? 
A sweet little baby
