Spring Wind Tab por Greg Brown

A                  D
I lived awhile without you
E                 F#m
Darn near half my life
                    D
I no longer see our unborn children
        E
Born to you my unwed wife
    D                 A
But yesterday I had a vision
            E                  F#m
Beneath the tree where we once talked
                         D
Of an old couple burning their love letters
         E
So their children won't be shocked


[Chorus]
     D              A
Love calls like the wild birds
E            F#m
It's another day
                      D
A spring wind blew my list of
G                 A
Things to do ... away


[Verse 2]
   A                  D
My friends are gettin older
     E               F#m
So I guess I must be too
              D
Without their love and kindness
  E
I don't know what I'd do
       D                  A
Oh the wine bottle's half empty
    E           F#m
The money's all spent
                          D
We're a cross between our parents
    E
And hippies in a tent


[Chorus]
     D              A
Love calls like the wild birds
E            F#m
It's another day
                      D
A spring wind blew my list of
G                 A
Things to do ... away


[Verse 3]
     A                 D
In a mucked up, lovely river
  E              F#m
I cast my little fly
                         D
I look at that river and smell it
       E
And it makes me wanna cry
       D               A
Oh, to clean our dirty planet
    E               F#m
Now there's a noble wish
                           D
And I'm puttin my shoulder to the wheel
         E
'cause I wanna catch some fish


[Chorus]
     D              A
Love calls like the wild birds
E            F#m
It's another day
                      D
A spring wind blew my list of
G                 A
Things to do ... away


[Verse 4]
A              D
Children go to sleep now
    E                 F#m
You know it's gettin' late
                              D
I know you don't like to miss nothin'
    E                  
And school ain't that great
         D                          A
Oh, I'll dance with you when you're happy
    E                    F#m
And hold you when you're sad
                  D
Hope you know how glad I am
E
Just to be your dad


[Chorus]
     D              A
Love calls like the wild birds
E            F#m
It's another day
                      D
A spring wind blew my list of
G                 A
Things to do ... away


[Verse 5]
A                   D
Darlin' it's been a hard go
      E              F#m
But I think we'll be okay
                  D
I know I say that all the time
     E
Like everything else I say
    D                 A
Oh, I've been gone so often
    E            F#m
But every time I miss you
                    D
I don't really know nothin'
       E
Except I'd like to kiss you


[Chorus]
     D              A
Love calls like the wild birds
E            F#m
It's another day
                      D
A spring wind blew my list of
G                 A
Things to do ... away
