[Verse]
F# B G#m7 Bsus4/E G#m7 B
I was born some time ago
F# B G#m7 Bsus4/E G#m7 B
In this very room
F# B G#m7 Bsus4/E G#m7 B
There’s many who have come and gone
F# B G#m7 Bsus4/E G#m7 B
Maybe one more soon
F# B G#m7 Bsus4/E G#m7 B
Seasons come, seasons go
F# B G#m7 Bsus4/E G#m7 B
Some talking in between
F# B G#m7 Bsus4/E G#m7 B
Staring out the window now
F# B G#m7 Bsus4/E G#m7 B
At all that I have been
[Chorus]
F# B Cadd9 C#m
Someone is singing some crazy song
G#m
On the painstain radio
F# B Cadd9 C#7
My hands they are ringing as I gaze upon
C#
These frozen fields of snow
[Verse]
F# B G#m7 Bsus4/E G#m7 B
My father was a violent man
F# B G#m7 Bsus4/E G#m7 B
He died in '63
F# B G#m7 Bsus4/E G#m7 B
My mother broke her silence then
F# B G#m7 Bsus4/E G#m7 B
She looked after me
[Chorus]
F# B Cadd9 C#m
We dug her deeper well for water
G#m F#
She told me water makes you free
B Cadd9 C#7
She lost her only daughter
C#
Her name was Mary-Lee
[Verse]
F# B G#m7 Bsus4/E G#m7 B
They called me up and threw me in
F# B G#m7 Bsus4/E G#m7 B
And there I lost my heart
F# B G#m7 Bsus4/E G#m7 B
I forgot where I had been
F# B G#m7 Bsus4/E G#m7 B
Till I wake up in the dark
[Chorus]
F# B Cadd9 C#m
I heard her voice saying you’re going home
G#m
As my blood begin to flow
F# B Cadd9 C#7
My mama was calling and beckoning
C#
From the frozen fields of snow
[Verse]
F# B G#m7 Bsus4/E G#m7 B
Something out there is going to ground
F# B G#m7 Bsus4/E G#m7 B
Lying under open skies
F# B G#m7 Bsus4/E G#m7 B
Birds of pray are swooping down
F# B G#m7 Bsus4/E G#m7 B
Picking out their eyes
[Chorus]
F# B Cadd9 C#m
Spring time is coming and is none too soon
G#m
I think it’s time for me to go
F# B Cadd9 C#7
I can see color green and poken through
C#
Through the frozen field of snow
[Verse]
F# B G#m7 Bsus4/E G#m7 B
My secrets are whispering
F# B G#m7 Bsus4/E G#m7 B
In this fading light
F# B G#m7 Bsus4/E G#m7 B
I have killed and I have loved
F# B G#m7 Bsus4/E G#m7 B
Time it will decide
