Solar Waltz Ukulele chords by Cosmo Sheldrake

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)



Verse 1:
      Am               Em
Well time, she did as time, she does
     F               Em
She passed along her way
     Am                     Em
And dawn she crept like a frightened girl
     F                    Em
Out from the night time’s sway
    Am            Em
But in the merry month of May
   Am               Em
A solemn fast does lurk
    Am                    Em
For spring, it sprang as spring, it does
    Em7             G     Am
And put the bees to work

Em  F  Em  Am  Em  Em7  G

Bridge:
    Am
And work they must
    Em
And work they shall
     F                Em
For all the things to grow
    Am                Em
For if they don’t, as time, she knows
        F             Em
They’d wither on the bough
    Am                 Em
And what a shame such things would be
   Am                Em
No wondrous wine for you and me
   Am             Em
No cider too, nor mead nor soup
    Em7            G     Am
For us to all make merry

Em  F  Em  Am  Em  Em7

Verse 2:
   Am                Em
So rot, ferment and decompose
   F                  Em
So all the things can grow
   Am           Em
Or wallow in a drinkless world
    F              Am
And wither on the bough
    Am
Oh, what a dusty burden
     Em
That nectar and that pollen
     Am
Like Atlas with the heavens
       Bm
On the back of his head
     Am
And what if they should falter
    Em
And shrug their little shoulders?
      Em7                       G    Am
Well, time, she’d pass all the same

Em  F  Em  Am  Em  Em7  G  Am
