[Em7] [Gsus4/C] [Em7] [G]
[Em7] [Gsus4/C] [Em7] [G]
[VERSE]
[D]I was born some [G]time ago [Em7] [Gsus4/C] [Em7] [G]
[D]In this very [G]room [Em7] [Gsus4/C] [Em7] [G]
There’s m[D]any who have c[G]ome and gone[Em7] [Gsus4/C] [Em7] [G]
[D]Maybe one more s[G]oon [Em7] [Gsus4/C] [Em7] [G]
[D]Seasons come, [G]seasons g[Em7]o [Gsus4/C] [Em7] [G]
Some talki[D]ng in bet[G]ween [Em7] [Gsus4/C] [Em7] [G]
[D]Staring out the [G]window now [Em7] [Gsus4/C] [Em7] [G]
At a[D]ll that I have [G]been [Em7] [Gsus4/C] [Em7] [G]
[CHORUS]
[D]Someone is [G]singing some [Cadd9]crazy song [Am]
On the painstain [Em]radio
My [D]hands they are [G]ringing as I [Cadd9]gaze upon [A7]
These frozen fields of [A]snow
[VERSE]
My [D]father was a [G]violent man [Em7] [Gsus4/C] [Em7] [G]
He [D]died in '6[G]3 [Em7] [Gsus4/C] [Em7] [G]
My [D]mother broke her [G]silence then [Em7] [Gsus4/C] [Em7] [G]
[D]She looked after [G]me [Em7] [Gsus4/C] [Em7] [G]
[CHORUS]
[D]We dug her [G]deeper well for [Cadd9]water [Am]
She told me water makes you [Em]free [D]
She [G]lost her only [Cadd9]daughter [A7]
Her name was Mary-[A]Lee
[VERSE]
They [D]called me up and [G]threw me in [Em7] [Gsus4/C] [Em7] [G]
And [D]there I lost my [G]heart [Em7] [Gsus4/C] [Em7] [G]
[D]I forgot where [G]I had been [Em7] [Gsus4/C] [Em7] [G]
Till I [D]wake up in the [G]dark [Em7] [Gsus4/C] [Em7] [G]
[CHORUS]
I[D] heard her voice [G]saying you’re [Cadd9]going home[Am]
As my blood begin to [Em]flow
My [D]mama was [G]calling and [Cadd9]beckoning [A7]
From the frozen fields of [A]snow
[VERSE]
[D]Something out there is [G]going to ground [Em7] [Gsus4/C] [Em7] [G]
Lying [D]under open [G]skies [Em7] [Gsus4/C] [Em7] [G]
[D]Birds of pray are [G]swooping down [Em7] [Gsus4/C] [Em7] [G]
[D]Picking out their [G]eyes [Em7] [Gsus4/C] [Em7] [G]
[CHORUS]
[D]Spring time is [G]coming and is [Cadd9]none too soon [Am]
I think it’s time for me to [Em]go
[D]I can see [G]color green and [Cadd9]poken through [A7]
Through the frozen field of [A]snow
[VERSE]
My [D]secrets are [G]whispering[Em7] [Gsus4/C] [Em7] [G]
[D]In this fading [G]light [Em7] [Gsus4/C] [Em7] [G]
[D]I have killed and [G]I have loved[Em7] [Gsus4/C] [Em7] [G]
[D]Time it will dec[G]ide [Em7] [Gsus4/C] [Em7] [G]
[Em7] [Gsus4/C] [Em7] [G]
