Wildflower And Barley

[Intro]
Bm7 Am Bm7 Am

[Verse 1]
Bm7                      Am7 Bm7
   Springtime in the country
             Am7                    Bm7
Each time I'm   shocked by the light
                       Am7
The world lyin' fallow and you are apart from me
     Em7         D         G            C
Everythin' in my vision is movement and life
     Am         D
Riverboat, wheelbarrow,
    G          C
wildflower and barley

[Verse 2]
Bm7           Am7
   Springtime in the country
Bm7                  Am7
   I can smell summer   on its breath
Bm7                     Am7
   Low and harrowed lie the fields and the heart of me
     Em7         D            G
Everythin' in my vision, departure,
    C
and death
     Am         D           G
Riverboat, wheelbarrow, wildflower,
    Cmaj7
and barley

[Chorus]
Bm7
   This year,
C                  Cmaj7
I swear it will be buried in actions
Bm7
   This year,
C                  Cmaj7
I swear it will be buried in words
Bm7           C
Some close to the surface,
     Cmaj7
some close to the casket
             Em7    D
I feel as useful as dirt,
       G       C
put my body to work
Am D
Mm
  G Cmaj7
Mm

[Verse 3]
Bm7             Am7
   Springtime in   the city
Bm7                Am7
   The canal banks are empty again
         Bm7                 Am7
The grass   cryin' out to be heated by bodies
           Em7             D            G         C
The streets   for the laughter of young women and men
     Am         D
Canal  boat and trolley,
    G          Cmaj7
wildflower and barley

[Chorus]
Bm7
   This year,
C                  Cmaj7
I swear it will be buried in actions
Bm7
   This year,
C                  Cmaj7
I swear it will be buried in words
Bm7           C
Some close to the surface,
     Cmaj7
some close to the casket
             Em7    D       G      C
I feel as useful as dirt, unreal unearth
Bm7
   This year,
C                  Cmaj7
I swear it will be buried in actions
Bm7
   This year,
C                  Cmaj7
I swear it will be buried in words
Bm7           C
Some close to the surface,
     Cmaj7
some close to the casket
             Em7    D
I feel as useful as dirt,
       G       C
put my body to work
Am D
Mm
  G Cmaj7
Mm

[Outro]
Bm7           Am7           Bm7
   Springtime from my window
                  Am7
Another month has not much longer now
    Bm7                   Am7
The sun hesitates more on each evening's darkenin'
      Em7              D          G            C
Would all things God allows remain above ground
     Am              D
Like grief and sweet memory,
    G
wildflower and barley
