Indigo Girls – Little Perennials (Ukulele)

F             G    F              F
Back in the long stretch of loneliness

F        G       F       F
I have come to call a living,

F                 G    F              F
I'm getting something for all this love's labor,

F       G    F       F
even when I am forgetting.

Fm
Oh we oh oh little perennials

                   F
where'd you come from?

F        G    F                   F
Daughter of my father's second cousin,

F     G             F        F
loyalties, I got em by the dozen.

F            G   F                   F
We share a past, we share a blood relation

F              G           F       F
and that's as good as an invitation.

Fm
Oh we oh oh little perennials

                   F
where'd you come from?

Am           G     F
I'm in the North Carolina Mountains,

Am           G          F
just to the west of where I met my calling.

Am           G            F
If you look south to the foothills of these mountains rising,

Am          G              F
that's the place where it feels good falling.

Am          G             F
That's the place that I know.

F          G         F             F
I look for words to fill the empty spaces,

F         G                  F           F
all the life revealed in these back stages.

F             G     F            F
I reach for names like little puzzle pieces;

F     G         F     F
oh perennial, come to me.

Fm
Oh we oh oh little perennials

                    F
where'd you come from?
