[Intro]
Bm G Bm G A
[Chorus]
Em Autumn's ashes, summer's embers G On the sidewalk come September D F#m And suddenly I can't remember G Bm Any lessons learned Bm Now that I'm a migrant picker G Trouble-minded tin-can kicker Bm G I wish my skin was thicker F# Bm G Bm G F#m The air has turned
[Verse]
Bm I can live alone I said G I can make my lonesome bed Bm F#m I don't need a hole in my head G Bm I don't need a lover Bm But he took me by surprise G I fell down and saw him rise Bm F#m F# Till he was larger in my eyes Bm Than any other
[Bridge]
Bm F# E G How suddenly the summer died Bm F#m E G I couldn't bring it back to life Bm E G I couldn't sing it back to life Bm G Bm G Em But I tried
[Verse]
Bm Came to him in summer clothing G Came to him because I chose him Bm G Came to find his fingers frozen Bm And he would not reach for me Bm Came to him for his sweet song G D Bm Came to him for right or wrong Bm Came to find his heart belonged G Bm To one who came before me
[Bridge]
Bm F# E G How suddenly the sweetness died Bm F#m E G I couldn't bring it back to life Bm B E G I couldn't sing it back to life Em Bm G Bm G F#m But I tried
[Chorus]
Em Autumn's ashes, summer's embers G On the sidewalk come September D F#m And suddenly I can't remember G Bm Any lessons learned Bm Now that I'm a migrant picker G Trouble-minded tin-can kicker Bm G I wish my skin was thicker F#m A Bm But the air has turned
