[INTRO:] E minorEm BaugBaug E minor 7Em7 BaugBaug E minorEm G6G6 C#dim7C#dim7 Cmaj7Cmaj7 E minorEm

[VERSE 1:]
             D MajorD
Love and maple syrup go together
             C majorC        B7B7
Like the sticky winds of winter when they meet
   E minorEm
When lonely lovers come to rest
   D MajorD
Beneath the trees they do their best
  C majorC          B7B7   G+G
But still they can't be free

[CHORUS:]
        D MajorD      A minorAm
Looking for the world to be
       E minorEm       G+G
Anything but what they see
       D MajorD      A minorAm
Longing to be understood
         E minorEm
By the heart that shapes the wood


[INTERLUDE:] E minorEm D MajorD A minorAm  E minorEm


[VERSE 2:]
              D MajorD
If you go into the forest, gaze up through the leaves
      C majorC         B7B7   E minorEm
And see the sky that's almost wild

You can learn to understand
   D MajorD
What makes the forest greet the man
    C majorC       B7B7   E minorEm
Like a mother's only child


[VERSE 3:]
                 D MajorD
In the north when winter's claw relaxes now
          C majorC      B7B7   E minorEm
To keep the law of nature in control

People come and stand in line
  D MajorD
To rob the forest of her wine
  C majorC          B7B7   G+G
But they don't feel the cold

[CHORUS:]
        D MajorD      A minorAm
Looking for the world to be
       E minorEm       G+G
Anything but what they see
       D MajorD      A minorAm
Longing to be understood
         E minorEm
By the heart that shapes the wood

[VERSE 4:]
                D MajorD
Love and maple syrup shine like embers warm
              C majorC       B7B7    E minorEm
Like thoughts divine, they tell us it is spring

Love and maple syrup stir
  D MajorD
The thoughts of people into words
  C majorC          B7B7   E minorEm
The songs that they can sing


[VERSE 5:]
             D MajorD
Love and maple syrup go together
             C majorC        B7B7   E minorEm
Like the sticky winds of winter when they meet

When lonely lovers come to rest
 D MajorD
Beneath the trees they do their best

But still they can't be free
