[Intro:]Em Em7 C D (Dadd9) 
 
Bm7 
We set out in the Spring   
					   D 
With a trunkful of books about everything. 
Bm7 
About solar devices 
			   D 
And how nice natural childbirth is. 
Cmaj7/E 
We cut down some trees and trailed our ideals 
		B7 
Through the forest glade. 
Cmaj7/E 
We dammed up the stream and the kids cooled their heels 
	 B7 
In the fishing pool we made. 
Em			   Em7 
We held hands and we exchanged bands 
	 C		 Cmaj7	   D 
And we practically lived off the land. 
Bm7 
You adopted a fox cub 
				    D 
Whose mother was somebody's coat. 
Bm7 
You fed him by hand, then snuggled him down 
       D 
In the grandfather bed, while I wrote. 
Cmaj7/E 
And we grew our own maize 
				B7 
And I only occasionally went into town 
Cmaj7/E 
To stock up on antibiotics 
			 B7 
And shells for the shotgun that I kept around. 
Em					Em7 
I told the kids stories while you worked your loom 
	  C		    Cmaj7	    D 
And the sun went down sooner each day. 
Bridge: 
G Em7/F#  Em Em7  C Cmaj7  D Dadd9 (2x) 
Bm7  D (2x) 
Cmaj7/E  B7 (2x) 
Bm7 
Then the leaves all fell down, 
					 D 
And the crops all turned brown.  It was over. 
Bm7 
As the first snowflakes fell 
			     D 
I realized all was not well in the camp. 
Cmaj7/E 
The kids caught bronchitis, 
				    B7 
The space heater ran out of diesel, 
    Cmaj7/E 
One weekend a friend from the east 
				  B7 
(Rot his soul) stole your heart. 
Em					  Em7 
I said,  D2Fuck it then, take the kids back to town, 
C	     Cmaj7	  D	Dadd9 
Maybe I'll see you around. D 
G Em7/F#  Em Em7  C Cmaj7  D Dadd9 (2x) 
	 G	   Em7/F#  Em	   Em7 
And so leaving all our hopes and dreams 
	 C	Cmaj7	  D	  
To the wind and the rain, 
Dadd9	 G	    Em7/F#   
Taking only our stash, 
	   Em		  Em7 
Left our litter and trash 
    C		Cmaj7 
And set out   
D	 Dadd9 G (etc. to fade) 
On the road again.
