Verse 1:
  E minorEm                  A minorAm
The leaves are bursting brightly slowly turning into flame
C majorC                    D MajorD   G+G F#F#
soon they'll lose their strength shrivel up and turn to gray
E minorEm             A minorAm
the cold takes over little crystals from the sky
 C majorC           D MajorD     G+G   F#F#
a wondrous white blanket covers all throughout the night
    E minorEm               A minorAm
in the morning it's the sun sprinklin' glitter all around
  C majorC             D MajorD    G+G    F#F#
the wind blows softly like a lullabye through town
  E minorEm                A minorAm
and all this has happened while your mind's preoccupied
   C majorC                 D MajorD   G+G  F#F#     E minorEm
it's the ugly way of man that keeps us down and makes us blind

We could swim with the dolphins we could climb a mountainside
     C majorC            D MajorD
We could hunt with the lions Lay beneath the stars at night
  E minorEm          G+G            E minorEm
Procreating our existence underneath the moonlight
  A minorAm     C majorC   D MajorD   G+G F#F#

E minorEm           A minorAm
One great tear splashes down upon the ground
C majorC               D MajorD    G+G  F#F#
Love paints and magic created life to swim around
E minorEm              A minorAm
The sun burned hotter as the earth grew taller
     C majorC              D MajorD      G+G F#F#
There was beauty overwhelming all that life had to offer
E minorEm                 A minorAm
They crawled above the sky and they crawled above the earth
C majorC                D MajorD     G+G   F#F#
Life was blooming sweetly as the world was giving birth
E minorEm              A minorAm
The necessities of life were pure and simple in their ways
C majorC                 D MajorD         G+G  F#F# E minorEm
To sustain and exist, things would love to live each day-ay-ay
    A minorAm      C majorC  D MajorD  G+G  F#F#
woh oh oh oh oh oh oh ooooh
