Intro: A#m G#m A#m G#m

Verse:
A#m                 G#m
 Springtime in the country
A#m            G#m
 Each time Iʼm shocked by the light
A#m                     G#m
 The world lyinʼ fallow and you are apart from me
     E           C#         F#            B
Everythinʼ in my vision is movement and life
     G#m         C#           F#          B
Riverboat, wheelbarrow, wildflower and barley
A#m                 G#m
 Springtime in the country
A#m                  G#m
 I can smell summer on its breath
B                         G#m
 Low and harrowed lie the fields and the heart of me
     E           C#         F#            B
Everythinʼ in my vision, departure, and death
     G#m         C#           F#           B
Riverboat, wheelbarrow, wildflower, and barley

Chorus:

(The healers) This year, I swear it will be buried in actions (Are healinʼ)

This year, I swear it will be buried in words (The diggers are digginʼ the earth)

Some close to the surface, some close to the casket
          E         C#            F#       B
I feel as useful as dirt, put my body to work
G#m        C#
Mm (Oh-oh-oh)
  F#       B
Mm (Oh-oh-oh)

Verse:
A#m                 G#m
 Springtime in the city
A#m               G#m
 The canal banks are empty again
    A#m                     G#m
The grass cryinʼ out to be heated by bodies
           E        C#                 F#         B
The streets for the laughter of young women and men
  G#m           C#            F#          B
Canal boat and trolley, wildflower and barley

Chorus:
        A#m                                  G#m                        A#m
(The healers) This year, I swear it will be buried in actions (Are healing)
                              G#m                                           A#m
This year, I swear it will be buried in words (The diggers are digginʼ the earth)
                                G#m
Some close to the surface, some close to the casket
          E         C#       F#      B
I feel as useful as dirt, unreal unearth
        A#m                                  G#m                        A#m
(The healers) This year, I swear it will be buried in actions (Are healing)
                              G#m                                           A#m
This year, I swear it will be buried in words (The diggers are digginʼ the earth)
                                G#m
Some close to the surface, some close to the casket
          E         C#            F#       B
I feel as useful as dirt, put my body to work
G#m        C#
Mm (Oh-oh-oh)
  F#       B
Mm (Oh-oh-oh)

Outro:
A#m          G#m
 Springtime from my window
A#m                 G#m
 Another month has not much longer now
    A#m                    G#m
The sun hesitates more on each eveningʼs darkeninʼ
          E           C#       F#           B
Would all things God allows remain above ground
     G#m         C#                F#          B
Like grief and sweet memory, wildflower and barley
