Oh the
birds are ringing[C/G] in the opening act of
spring
And I have
fallen down and I’m
so much worse than I hav[C/G-D-G]e ever been
Oh the
season’s acting [C/G]strange and I know that something has to
change
But there
is no path I can c
hoose that will not brin[C/G-D-G]g somebody pain
[D/F#]Oh [D/E]oh [D/F#]oh-oh
oh Please f
orgive me for the
things that I must[D/F#] do
[D/F#]Oh [D/E]oh [D/F#]oh-oh
oh I have h
urt so many people
it was never my i[D/F#]ntention to hurt you
INTRO RIFF
Oh the
clouds have gathered [C/G]thick and in my stomach I feel
sick
And I have
all this drive and
no idea what I shou[C/G-D-G]ld do with it
But
they say there is a [C/G]calm after the passing of the
storm
So I can
dream of going
back outside when the rain [C/G-D-G]and thunder’s done
[D/F#]Oh [D/E]oh [D/F#]oh-oh
oh Please f
orgive me for the
things that I must[D/F#] do
[D/F#]Oh [D/E]oh [D/F#]oh-oh
oh I have h
urt so many people
it was never my i[D/F#]ntention to hurt you
And you
know the old folks say, they can
tell which way the rivers flowing
Tell which way the wind is blow’ing[C/G], by watching careful for the…
Signs among the little things:
The barking dogs, the birds on wing
And
I am deaf and blind and
I can’t say if I can change
the patterns that have caused you pain, [C/G]for I was raised in suburbs
Sheltered from the sun and rain
far away from subtle season’s change

Oh
baby I will [C/G]read about the buzzing of the
bees
About
the grass and snakes and
spawning lakes and the differe[C/G-D-G]nt types of trees
And
I will find a [C/G]way that leads from cruel April into
May
And someday soon it
will be June and you’ll[C/G-D-G] decide to stay
[D/F#]Oh [D/E]oh [D/F#]oh-oh
oh please f
orgive me for the
things that I have[D/F#] done
[D/F#]Oh [D/E]oh [D/F#]oh-oh
oh I will c
arry your
umbrella in the summer
And I’ll shade you from the [D/F#]sun
