[Verse]
C F Dm7 Fsus4/A# Dm7 F
I was born some time ago
C F Dm7 Fsus4/A# Dm7 F
In this very room
C F Dm7 Fsus4/A# Dm7 F
There’s many who have come and gone
C F Dm7 Fsus4/A# Dm7 F
Maybe one more soon
C F Dm7 Fsus4/A# Dm7 F
Seasons come, seasons go
C F Dm7 Fsus4/A# Dm7 F
Some talking in between
C F Dm7 Fsus4/A# Dm7 F
Staring out the window now
C F Dm7 Fsus4/A# Dm7 F
At all that I have been
[Chorus]
C F Cadd9 Gm
Someone is singing some crazy song
Dm
On the painstain radio
C F Cadd9 G7
My hands they are ringing as I gaze upon
G
These frozen fields of snow
[Verse]
C F Dm7 Fsus4/A# Dm7 F
My father was a violent man
C F Dm7 Fsus4/A# Dm7 F
He died in '63
C F Dm7 Fsus4/A# Dm7 F
My mother broke her silence then
C F Dm7 Fsus4/A# Dm7 F
She looked after me
[Chorus]
C F Cadd9 Gm
We dug her deeper well for water
Dm C
She told me water makes you free
F Cadd9 G7
She lost her only daughter
G
Her name was Mary-Lee
[Verse]
C F Dm7 Fsus4/A# Dm7 F
They called me up and threw me in
C F Dm7 Fsus4/A# Dm7 F
And there I lost my heart
C F Dm7 Fsus4/A# Dm7 F
I forgot where I had been
C F Dm7 Fsus4/A# Dm7 F
Till I wake up in the dark
[Chorus]
C F Cadd9 Gm
I heard her voice saying you’re going home
Dm
As my blood begin to flow
C F Cadd9 G7
My mama was calling and beckoning
G
From the frozen fields of snow
[Verse]
C F Dm7 Fsus4/A# Dm7 F
Something out there is going to ground
C F Dm7 Fsus4/A# Dm7 F
Lying under open skies
C F Dm7 Fsus4/A# Dm7 F
Birds of pray are swooping down
C F Dm7 Fsus4/A# Dm7 F
Picking out their eyes
[Chorus]
C F Cadd9 Gm
Spring time is coming and is none too soon
Dm
I think it’s time for me to go
C F Cadd9 G7
I can see color green and poken through
G
Through the frozen field of snow
[Verse]
C F Dm7 Fsus4/A# Dm7 F
My secrets are whispering
C F Dm7 Fsus4/A# Dm7 F
In this fading light
C F Dm7 Fsus4/A# Dm7 F
I have killed and I have loved
C F Dm7 Fsus4/A# Dm7 F
Time it will decide
