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
