[Verse 1]
Em D C
When the snowfields thaw and the stream beds crawl
Bm Em
To the waterfall and river
Em D C
I'll turn my face to the bright green space
Bm Em
Of the mother, my life-giver
D G
No man has made a ring of jade
Bm Em
Like green corn in the husk
D G
No man could own a turquoise stone
Bm Em
As deep blue as the dusk
Em D C
So come away from your working day
Bm Em
And laugh and let your head go-
Em D C
And bring along an old-time song
Bm Em
For dancing in the meadow ...
[Verse 2]
Em D C
Leave your bedside for a moonlight ride
Bm Em
Where the midnight air is warmer
Em D C
We'll sing for the quail and the cotton tail
Bm Em
Who still escapes the farmer
D G
Deep plum thickets and bramble bush
Bm Em
Where the quiet creatures hide
D G
Are part of me-a mystery
Bm Em
which I accept with pride
Em D C
If I must stay and lay all day
Bm Em
Like a March hare in hedgerow
Em D C
When the hunter's gone, it's all night long
Bm Em
For dancing in the meadow ...
[Verse 3]
Em D C
When the summer's over and come October
Bm Em
and the evening air is crisper,
Em D C
In the mist and smoke by the twisted oak
Bm Em
I'll listen to the branches whisper
D G
Barn dancers reel, the furrowed field
Bm Em
Must yield and quickly turn
D G
Harvest gone the hoot owl song
Bm Em
Is one we now must learn
Em D C
Singing, "Who, who, who are you?"
Bm Em
and, "If it's you who said so?"
Em D C
"Who could it be?" "It's only me"
