^Cm9 x3103x ^Cm9/B x2103x ^Cm9/Bb x1003x ^Cm9/A x0103x ^Cm9 D Winter's hard to ^Cm9/B rhyme We're prisoners in some ^Cm9/Bb icy panto-^Cm9/A-mime Just waiting for ^Cm the wind to change his ^Cmsus4 x3x031 mind And sing us ^Fm green ^Abmaj7 April starts to whisper to the ^Ebmaj7 trees I hoe and you plant the ^Ebm7 peas Canterbury ^Ab7 Bells begin to ^Dbmaj7 ring The sparrows are stealing ^Dbm7 string Highocks and ^F#7 foxglove to the ^Bmaj7 knee Now life's a major ^Bm7 key We've got mud ^E between our toes ^Dbm7 This is how the ^F#7 garden grows

^Cm9 Midnight in ^Cm9/B July We see the season ^Cm9/Bb spread across the ^Cm9/A sky We wake up to ^Cm a nosy dragon-^Cmsus4 x3x031-fly Against the ^Fm screen ^Abmaj7 You just love to bite me where it ^Ebmaj7 shows You kiss me, then hide my ^Ebm7 clothes Running through the ^Ab7 sprinklers nearly ^Dbmaj7 raw We've just disproved Newton's ^Dbm7 law How can I break ^F#7 even with the ^Bbmaj7 weeds In love so beyond my ^Bm7 needs Blossoms on you ^E Mama's rose ^Dbm7 This is how the ^F#7 garden grows
