[INTRO:] Em Baug Em7 Baug Em G6 C#dim7 Cmaj7 Em [VERSE 1:]
                          D
Love and maple syrup go together

                         C                B7
Like the sticky winds of winter when they meet

     Em       
When lonely lovers come to rest

      D
Beneath the trees they do their best

    C                   B7      G
But still they can't be free
[CHORUS:]
                D            Am
Looking for the world to be

             Em             G
Anything but what they see

              D           Am
Longing to be understood

                  Em
By the heart that shapes the wood
[INTERLUDE:] Em D Am Em [VERSE 2:]
                           D
If you go into the forest, gaze up through the leaves

            C                 B7     Em
And see the sky that's almost wild
You can learn to understand
     D
What makes the forest greet the man

       C             B7      Em
Like a mother's only child
[VERSE 3:]
                                  D
In the north when winter's claw relaxes now 

                   C            B7     Em
To keep the law of nature in control
People come and stand in line
   D
To rob the forest of her wine

    C                   B7      G
But they don't feel the cold
[CHORUS:]
                D            Am
Looking for the world to be

             Em             G
Anything but what they see

              D           Am
Longing to be understood

                  Em
By the heart that shapes the wood

[INSTRUMENTAL:] G  D  Am  Em  G  D  Am  Em     D  Am   Em
                 Do do do do, etc., etc.
[VERSE 4:]
                                D
Love and maple syrup shine like embers warm

                           C             B7        Em
Like thoughts divine, they tell us it is spring
Love and maple syrup stir
    D
The thoughts of people into words

    C                   B7      Em
The songs that they can sing
[VERSE 5:]
                          D
Love and maple syrup go together

                         C                B7      Em
Like the sticky winds of winter when they meet
When lonely lovers come to rest
  D
Beneath the trees they do their best

    C                   B7      G
But still they can't be free
