Bm Am Bm Am....................
[Verse 1]
Bm Am Springtime in the country
Bm Am Each time I'm shocked by the light
Bm Am The world lyin' fallow and you are apart from me
F D G CEverythin' in my vision is movement and life
Am D G CRiverboat, wheelbarrow, wildflower and barley
Bm Am Springtime in the country
Bm Am I can smell summer on its breath
C Am Low and harrowed lie the fields and the heart of me
F D G CEverythin' in my vision, departure, and death
Am D G CRiverboat, wheelbarrow, wildflower, and barley
[Chorus]
(The healers) This year, I swear it will be buried in actions (Are healin')
This year, I swear it will be buried in words (The diggers are diggin' the earth)
Some close to the surface, some close to the casket
F D G CI feel as useful as dirt, put my body to work
Am DMm (Oh-oh-oh)
G CMm (Oh-oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
Bm Am Springtime in the city
Bm Am The canal banks are empty again
Bm AmThe grass cryin' out to be heated by bodies
F D G CThe streets for the laughter of young women and men
Am D G CCanal boat and trolley, wildflower and barley
[Chorus]
Bm Am Bm(The healers) This year, I swear it will be buried in actions (Are healing)
Am BmThis year, I swear it will be buried in words (The diggers are diggin' the earth)
AmSome close to the surface, some close to the casket
F D G CI feel as useful as dirt, unreal unearth
Bm Am Bm(The healers) This year, I swear it will be buried in actions (Are healing)
Am BmThis year, I swear it will be buried in words (The diggers are diggin' the earth)
AmSome close to the surface, some close to the casket
F D G CI feel as useful as dirt, put my body to work
Am DMm (Oh-oh-oh)
G CMm (Oh-oh-oh)
[Outro]
Bm Am Springtime from my window
Bm Am Another month has not much longer now
Bm AmThe sun hesitates more on each evening's darkenin'
F D G CWould all things God allows remain above ground
Am D G CLike grief and sweet memory, wildflower and barley
