WINTER BIRDS CHORDS

[Start]

[Intro]

[Verse]
C                                   F         
 It's the Widow now that owns that angry plow
Bb             F            C           
  The spartan Mule and The Crippled Cow
                           F            
The fallow field that will yield no more
   Bb         F                        C            
As   the fox lay sleeping beneath her kitchen floor
                                  F             
The stream can't contain such the withering rain
    Bb          F                       C           
And   from the pasture the fence it is leaning away
           C              
The clouds crack and growl
Fmaj7                      F    
Like some great cat on the prowl
                Fmaj7     C             
Crying out I am I am over and over again


[Chorus]
         C         
The days grow short
F      Fm               C
As the nights grow long 
                      Fm       C    Cmaj7
The kettle sings it's tortured song     
                        Fm                 
As many petalled kiss I place upon her brow
Bb       F    Bb     F             C   Cmaj7 C
  Oh my lady Lady I am loving you now      


[Inst]

[Verse]
                           Fmaj7     
The winter birds have come back again
Bb                             
  Here the sprightly Chickadee
C                          
Gone now is the Willow Wren
                                  Fmaj7          
In passing greet each other as if old old friends
Bb            Fmaj7          
  And to the voiceless trees
F           C                 
It is their own they will lend
Cmaj7          C         
     The days grow short
       Fm               C
As the nights grow long 
Cmaj7            C          Fm       C   
     The kettle sings it's tortured song
                        Fm                 
As many petalled kiss I place upon her brow
Bb       F    Bb     F             C  
  Oh my lady Lady I am loving you now


[Chorus]
           F   Fmaj7        F    C       
And though all these things will  change


[Verse]
Fmaj7                   
The memories will remain
C  G7               F           C     G
As   green to gold and gold to brown 
G7                 F                C      G7
  The leaves will fall to feed the ground  
             F               C    
And in their falling make no sound
Bb       F   
  Oh my lady


[Inst]
Bb   F           C      
Lady I am loving you now


[Verse]
Cmaj7 C                                                  F
      I've gathered all my money and I'm goin' to town 
Bb    F                      C           
  To buy my lady a long and flowing gown
            C               
'cause come tomorrow morning
                 F          
We're off to the county fair
Bb             F            
  I'll find a yellow flower
           C                  
And I will lace it in her hair
Fm Cmaj7 Fm C Fm Bb F Bb
