C                     G
Though bells will ring
                                C
Church steeples were catchin fire
			G
If you promise spring,
				C
then I’ll know you are a liar

[Chorus]
C		Am
Cause in the spring
F			C
Tender grasses won’t burn easily

		Am
Tough thrushes sing
F				Em
Still my lover won’t return to me
	G			F
Wild parsnips they still scald my lungs
      G			   C
While thistles will burn my feet
	          G		        C
And if you join our chorus
	        G		           C
You will never fear anymore
	          G		       C
So here it comes the chorus
	       G		             C
We will meet on a fatal shore

Under the elders, the older get younger
The younger get over, over their elders
Under the elders, pretend that you’re older now

Under the elders
Bending your branches down
