Phil Ochs – First Snow (Guitar)

G     Bm         Em      D
First snow on the autumn ground

G          Bm          Em           D
Covers the grass where once she lay down.

G          C     G             Em
Blanket of white, grass out of sight.

C             D
Where did she go?

C              D
Tell me, first snow.

G     Bm    Em       D
First snow, cover my mistakes.

G         Bm             Em     D
Cover the past with your lovely flakes.

G       C            G          Em
Perfect white sheet, beneath my feet.

C          D
I hurt her so.

C                 D
Cleanse me, first snow.

G    Bm     Em       D
First snow, down you dart,

G           Bm      Em         D
Cold as the winter, cold as my heart,

G             C    G              Em
Fall from the sky, please tell me why.

C         D
I let her go,

C                  D
And lost her first snow.

G     Bm    Em       D
First snow, down you fall.

G           Bm         Em          D
I feel your heartbeat, I hear your call.

G           C      G           Em
So I'll lay still. Fall if you will.

C             D
With autumn I go,

C                   D
Please hurry, first snow.
