Get a little of that natural air
                       A
You can get it several ways
     D             G          D
Open the window at top of the stairs
                           A          D
So pleasing, especially on hot summer days

                     G             D
I used to lay on the cool linoleum floor
                         A
No shirt, just bib over- alls
        D        G          D
Peeking thru the old screen door
                   A               D
The smell of sweet clover, best of all

                  G        D
Or sit on the old bench of wood
                        A
Under the big white oak tree
       D            G             D
Follow white fluffy clouds best I could
                        A              D
Or watch the horizon as far as I could see

                 G       D
Open the windows at bed- time
                        A
Breathe in that natural air
        D       G           D
Outside natures life of its own
                A                  D
I was young and growing, without a care

                  G                   D
I am old now, and slowed down quite a bit
                             A
But I still enjoy that quiet time
                  G        D
And that country, westerly breeze
                           A                 D
I think of as  Natural Air that is truly mine
