Intro
MIm MIm7 DO RE (Dadd9)
SIm7
We set out in the Spring =
RE
With a trunkful of books about everything.
SIm7
About solar devices
RE
And how nice natural childbirth is.
DOmaj7/MI
We cut down some trees and trailed our ideals
SI7
Through the forest glade.
DOmaj7/MI
We dammed up the stream and the kids cooled their heels
SI7
In the fishing pool we made.
MIm MIm7
We held hands and we exchanged bands
DO DOmaj7 RE
And we practically lived off the land.
SIm7
You adopted a fox cub
RE
Whose mother was somebody's coat.
SIm7
You fed him by hand, then snuggled him down
RE
In the grandfather bed, while I wrote.
DOmaj7/MI
And we grew our own maize
SI7
And I only occasionally went into town
DOmaj7/MI
To stock up on antibiotics
SI7
And shells for the shotgun that I kept around.
MIm MIm7
I told the kids stories while you worked your loom
DO DOmaj7 RE
And the sun went down sooner each day.
Bridge:
SOL MIm7/FA# MIm MIm7 DO DOmaj7 RE REadd9 (2x)
SIm7 RE (2x)
DOmaj7/MI SI7 (2x)
SIm7
Then the leaves all fell down,
RE
And the crops all turned brown. It was over.
SIm7
As the first snowflakes fell
RE
I realized all was not well in the camp.
DOmaj7/MI
The kids caught bronchitis,
SI7
The space heater ran out of diesel,
DOmaj7/MI
One weekend a friend from the east
SI7
(Rot his soul) stole your heart.
MIm MIm7
I said, =D2Fuck it then, take the kids back to town,
DO DOmaj7 RE REadd9
Maybe I'll see you around.=D3

To the wind and the rain,
Dadd9 G Em7/F# =
Taking only our stash,
MIm MIm7
