[Verse]
G C Am7 Csus4/F Am7 C
I was born some time ago
G C Am7 Csus4/F Am7 C
In this very room
G C Am7 Csus4/F Am7 C
There’s many who have come and gone
G C Am7 Csus4/F Am7 C
Maybe one more soon
G C Am7 Csus4/F Am7 C
Seasons come, seasons go
G C Am7 Csus4/F Am7 C
Some talking in between
G C Am7 Csus4/F Am7 C
Staring out the window now
G C Am7 Csus4/F Am7 C
At all that I have been
[Chorus]
G C Cadd9 Dm
Someone is singing some crazy song
Am
On the painstain radio
G C Cadd9 D7
My hands they are ringing as I gaze upon
D
These frozen fields of snow
[Verse]
G C Am7 Csus4/F Am7 C
My father was a violent man
G C Am7 Csus4/F Am7 C
He died in '63
G C Am7 Csus4/F Am7 C
My mother broke her silence then
G C Am7 Csus4/F Am7 C
She looked after me
[Chorus]
G C Cadd9 Dm
We dug her deeper well for water
Am G
She told me water makes you free
C Cadd9 D7
She lost her only daughter
D
Her name was Mary-Lee
[Verse]
G C Am7 Csus4/F Am7 C
They called me up and threw me in
G C Am7 Csus4/F Am7 C
And there I lost my heart
G C Am7 Csus4/F Am7 C
I forgot where I had been
G C Am7 Csus4/F Am7 C
Till I wake up in the dark
[Chorus]
G C Cadd9 Dm
I heard her voice saying you’re going home
Am
As my blood begin to flow
G C Cadd9 D7
My mama was calling and beckoning
D
From the frozen fields of snow
[Verse]
G C Am7 Csus4/F Am7 C
Something out there is going to ground
G C Am7 Csus4/F Am7 C
Lying under open skies
G C Am7 Csus4/F Am7 C
Birds of pray are swooping down
G C Am7 Csus4/F Am7 C
Picking out their eyes
[Chorus]
G C Cadd9 Dm
Spring time is coming and is none too soon
Am
I think it’s time for me to go
G C Cadd9 D7
I can see color green and poken through
D
Through the frozen field of snow
[Verse]
G C Am7 Csus4/F Am7 C
My secrets are whispering
G C Am7 Csus4/F Am7 C
In this fading light
G C Am7 Csus4/F Am7 C
I have killed and I have loved
G C Am7 Csus4/F Am7 C
Time it will decide
