[Interlude]

[Verse]
E MajorE A augmentedA C majorC D MajorD E MajorE
Now that there are green sprouts pushing through dead leaves,
A augmentedA E MajorE BB
and fat yellow jackets float on the breeze,
E MajorE A augmentedA C majorC D MajorD E MajorE
the waves kiss the shore and the air is warm,
A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
but birch trees are falling now that you are gone.
[Chorus]
A augmentedA C majorC D MajorD E MajorE
Once we walked the crumbling cliffs
A augmentedA C majorC D MajorD E MajorE
where the birch trees lean;
A augmentedA C majorC D MajorD E MajorE
Once I kissed your apple lips
A augmentedA E MajorE BB
high above the sea.
[Interlude]

[Verse]
E MajorE A augmentedA C majorC D MajorD E MajorE
A augmentedA year ago it was when the last clover grew.
A augmentedA E MajorE BB
Under creaking birch trees I would wait for you.
E MajorE A augmentedA C majorC D MajorD E MajorE
We kissed in the salt air between the leaning trees,
A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
white slender branches bent to the sea.
[Chorus]
A augmentedA C majorC D MajorD E MajorE
Once we walked the crumbling cliffs
A augmentedA C majorC D MajorD E MajorE
where the birch trees lean;
A augmentedA C majorC D MajorD E MajorE
now who will kiss your apple lips
A augmentedA E MajorE BB
under the salty sea
