Selection chords: Katie Paterson

Intro: Bm Am Bm Am

Verse:
Bm                 Am
 Springtime in the country
Bm            Am
 Each time Iʼm shocked by the light
Bm                     Am
 The world lyinʼ fallow and you are apart from me
     F           D         G            C
Everythinʼ in my vision is movement and life
     Am         D           G          C
Riverboat, wheelbarrow, wildflower and barley
Bm                 Am
 Springtime in the country
Bm                  Am
 I can smell summer on its breath
C                         Am
 Low and harrowed lie the fields and the heart of me
     F           D         G            C
Everythinʼ in my vision, departure, and death
     Am         D           G           C
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
          F         D            G       C
I feel as useful as dirt, put my body to work
Am        D
Mm (Oh-oh-oh)
  G       C
Mm (Oh-oh-oh)

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

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

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