^AmSpring it came upon us, ^Emevery insect filled the air D Am Fill Dropped their wings upon my brother, cast their shadows on his hair ^AmIf we follow where they're leading, ^EmWe will surely come before ^Dsome unseen and wondrous magic, ^Ammade of visions to explor^Am7e

^AmThis old dark machine, it shakes and it shudders ^G/CPulls to the left, then dies near the gutter ^DBut still in the road, the traffic is silent ^AmThe people they stare, and then they turn violent ^CIf they should touch, the hem of your dress ^AmI would rise like a lion, strike out again ^CThe faithful they wait, the faithful they wait ^G/CBy the sign

^DNear the town where we were living, ^Amcame a loud and joyous soun^Am7d ^DAs the earth and all her beauty, ^Ampicked us up from off the groun^Am7d ^DCarried far across the mountain, ^Amto a kingdom never boun^Am7d ^EmWe will live like this forever, ^CI will love you, ^DI will love you
