[Verse]
A D Bm7 Dsus4/G Bm7 D
I was born some time ago
A D Bm7 Dsus4/G Bm7 D
In this very room
A D Bm7 Dsus4/G Bm7 D
There’s many who have come and gone
A D Bm7 Dsus4/G Bm7 D
Maybe one more soon
A D Bm7 Dsus4/G Bm7 D
Seasons come, seasons go
A D Bm7 Dsus4/G Bm7 D
Some talking in between
A D Bm7 Dsus4/G Bm7 D
Staring out the window now
A D Bm7 Dsus4/G Bm7 D
At all that I have been
[Chorus]
A D Cadd9 Em
Someone is singing some crazy song
Bm
On the painstain radio
A D Cadd9 E7
My hands they are ringing as I gaze upon
E
These frozen fields of snow
[Verse]
A D Bm7 Dsus4/G Bm7 D
My father was a violent man
A D Bm7 Dsus4/G Bm7 D
He died in '63
A D Bm7 Dsus4/G Bm7 D
My mother broke her silence then
A D Bm7 Dsus4/G Bm7 D
She looked after me
[Chorus]
A D Cadd9 Em
We dug her deeper well for water
Bm A
She told me water makes you free
D Cadd9 E7
She lost her only daughter
E
Her name was Mary-Lee
[Verse]
A D Bm7 Dsus4/G Bm7 D
They called me up and threw me in
A D Bm7 Dsus4/G Bm7 D
And there I lost my heart
A D Bm7 Dsus4/G Bm7 D
I forgot where I had been
A D Bm7 Dsus4/G Bm7 D
Till I wake up in the dark
[Chorus]
A D Cadd9 Em
I heard her voice saying you’re going home
Bm
As my blood begin to flow
A D Cadd9 E7
My mama was calling and beckoning
E
From the frozen fields of snow
[Verse]
A D Bm7 Dsus4/G Bm7 D
Something out there is going to ground
A D Bm7 Dsus4/G Bm7 D
Lying under open skies
A D Bm7 Dsus4/G Bm7 D
Birds of pray are swooping down
A D Bm7 Dsus4/G Bm7 D
Picking out their eyes
[Chorus]
A D Cadd9 Em
Spring time is coming and is none too soon
Bm
I think it’s time for me to go
A D Cadd9 E7
I can see color green and poken through
E
Through the frozen field of snow
[Verse]
A D Bm7 Dsus4/G Bm7 D
My secrets are whispering
A D Bm7 Dsus4/G Bm7 D
In this fading light
A D Bm7 Dsus4/G Bm7 D
I have killed and I have loved
A D Bm7 Dsus4/G Bm7 D
Time it will decide
