D G
Summer lasted a generation
G/F# Em7 Asus4
A generation — and then the winter wind
D G
The bounty harvest that seemed so endless
G/F# Em7 Asus4
It seemed so endless until it gave what it could give
G Asus4 D
Prosperity will have its seasons
G Asus4
Even when it’s here, it’s going by
G Amaj Bmin B+2
And when it’s gone we pretend we know the reasons
G Asus4 G Asus4
And all the roots grow deeper when it’s dry
D G
It looked so easy, we change the weather
G/F# Em7 G Asus4
We would turn this world ourselves our world so small
D G
But slower rhythms — still unheard of
G/F# Em7 Asus4 D
Said that every blessed summer someday has to fall
G Asus4 D
Prosperity will have its seasons
G Asus4
Even when it’s here, it’s going by
G Amaj Bmin B+2
And when it’s gone we pretend we know the reasons
G Asus4 G D G Asus4
And all the roots grow deeper when it’s dry, when it’s dry
G D
Prosperity will have its seasons
G Asus4
Even when it’s here, it’s going by
G Amaj Bmin B+2
And when it’s gone we pretend we know the reasons
G Asus4 G D G [A]* D
And all the roots grow deeper when it’s dry
