[Verse]
              Em    
The wisdom of autumn
F             A7    
The virtue of spring
Dm7             D   
■   Is a way of life
G7               C   
■  It's a way of life
             Em       F
The sound of a Sunday ■
             Csus4 C   
When mission bells ring
D Dm7                 G7     C    C7
■ Is a song the world ■  can sing ■ 
        Gm7           C7           
So very seldom does a trumpet sound
Fmaj7      Dm7      
Announcing happiness
Gsus4           C          F       
Pleasure can be peacefully explored
Am7            D7              Gmaj7           Em7
Just to turn a rainbow out for someone else to see
Am7        D7         G7
Can be its own reward ■

A husband a wife
