Springtime Child

A7

I went round to see my woman

D7

No light on outside my door

         A7                                    E7                          A7

I don’t know where she’s gone, what she’s looking for

 

 

I work in the fields all day

I’m bone tired at night

But when the light’s not on, and the house is dark and cold, it’s not right

 

 

D7

She says that my hands are dirty

A7

She says my clothes they’re stinking wet

B7                                                                    E7

But you know I’m just doing what I’m able to pay her bills and debts

 

 

She used to be a springtime child

A flower in the sun

But the sun’s gone down and springtime’s on the run

 

 

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

 

 

She used to be a springtime child

A flower in the sun

Now the sun’s gone down and springtime’s on the run
