^{Em Em7 C D Dadd9 Bm7} We set out in the Spring =
With a trunkful of books about everything. ^D
Bm7 About solar devices
And how nice natural childb ^D irth is.
^Cmaj7/E We cut down some trees and trailed our ideals
Through the fore ^B7 st glade.
^Cmaj7/E We dammed up the stream and the kids cooled their heels
In the fi ^B7 shing pool we made.
^Em We held hands and we exchan ^Em7 ged bands
And we pr ^C actically lived ^Cmaj7 off the la ^D nd.
^Bm7 You adopted a fox cub
Whose mother was somebody's coat. ^D
Bm7 You fed him by hand, then snuggled him down
In the ^D grandfather bed, while I wrote.
^Cmaj7/E And we grew our own maize
And I only occasionally went int ^B7 o town
^Cmaj7/E To stock up on antibiotics
And shells for the shotgu ^B7 n that I kept around.
^Em I told the kids stories while you worked ^Em7 your loom
And the su ^C n went down sooner ^Cmaj7 each day. ^D
Bridge:
G Em7/F# Em Em7 C Cmaj7 D Dadd9 (2x)
Bm7 D (2x)
Cmaj7/E B7 (2x)
^Bm7 Then the leaves all fell down,
And the crops all turned brown. It was over. ^D
Bm7 As the first snowflakes fell
I realized all was not well i ^D n the camp.
^Cmaj7/E The kids caught bronchitis,
The space heater ran out of diesel, ^B7
One ^Cmaj7/E weekend a friend from the east
(Rot his soul) stole your heart. ^B7
Em I said, =D2Fuck it then, take the kids bac ^Em7 k to town,
^C Maybe I'll se ^Cmaj7 e you around. ^D =D3 ^Dadd9
G Em7/F# Em Em7 C Cmaj7 D Dadd9 (2x)
And so le ^G aving all ^Em7/F# our hope ^Em s and dr ^Em7 eams
C Cmaj7 D =
To the wind and the rain,
Dadd9 G Em7/F# =
Taking only our stash,
Left our li ^Em tter and trash ^Em7
And ^C set out = ^Cmaj7
D Dadd9 G (etc. to fade)
On the road again.
