Spring Wind — Greg Brown
Chords and lyrics for Spring Wind by Greg Brown (key of D).
Verse 1
[A]I lived awhile [D]without you
[E]Darn near half my [F#m]life
I no longer see our [D]unborn children
Born to [E]you my unwed wife
But [D]yesterday I had a [A]vision
Beneath the [E]tree where we once [F#m]talked
Of an old couple burning [D]their love letters
So their [E]children won't be shocked
Chorus
Love [D]calls like the [A]wild birds
[E]It's another [F#m]day
A spring wind blew my [D]list of
[G]Things to do ... [A]away
Verse 2
My [A]friends are gettin [D]older
So I [E]guess I must be [F#m]too
Without their [D]love and kindness
I [E]don't know what I'd do
Oh the [D]wine bottle's half [A]empty
The [E]money's all [F#m]spent
We're a cross between our [D]parents
And [E]hippies in a tent
Chorus
Love [D]calls like the [A]wild birds
[E]It's another [F#m]day
A spring wind blew my [D]list of
[G]Things to do ... [A]away
Verse 3
In a [A]mucked up, lovely [D]river
I [E]cast my little [F#m]fly
I look at that river and [D]smell it
And it [E]makes me wanna cry
Oh, to [D]clean our dirty [A]planet
Now [E]there's a noble [F#m]wish
And I'm puttin my shoulder [D]to the wheel
'cause I [E]wanna catch some fish
Chorus
Love [D]calls like the [A]wild birds
[E]It's another [F#m]day
A spring wind blew my [D]list of
[G]Things to do ... [A]away
Verse 4
[A]Children go to [D]sleep now
You [E]know it's gettin' [F#m]late
I know you don't like to miss [D]nothin'
And [E]school ain't that great
Oh, I'll [D]dance with you when you're [A]happy
And [E]hold you when you're [F#m]sad
Hope you know how [D]glad I am
[E]Just to be your dad
Chorus
Love [D]calls like the [A]wild birds
[E]It's another [F#m]day
A spring wind blew my [D]list of
[G]Things to do ... [A]away
Verse 5
[A]Darlin' it's been a [D]hard go
But I [E]think we'll be [F#m]okay
I know I say that [D]all the time
Like [E]everything else I say
Oh, [D]I've been gone so [A]often
But [E]every time I [F#m]miss you
I don't really know [D]nothin'
Except [E]I'd like to kiss you
Chorus
Love [D]calls like the [A]wild birds
[E]It's another [F#m]day
A spring wind blew my [D]list of
[G]Things to do ... [A]far ... away
