[Verse 1]
D G It's the widow now that owns that angry plow C C/G D The spartan mule and the crippled cow D G The fallow field that will yield no more C C/G D As the fox lay sleeping beneath her kitchen floor
[Verse 2]
D G The stream can't contain such a withering rain C C/G D And from the pasture the fence it is leaning away D G The clouds crack and growl like some great cat on the prowl C C/G D Crying out I am, I am over and over again
[Chorus]
Dmaj7 Gm The days grow short as the nights grow long Dmaj7 Gm The kettle sings its tortured song Dmaj7 Gm A many-petaled kiss I place upon her brow C G C G D Oh my lady, lady I am loving you now
[Verse 3]
D G The winter birds have gone back again C C/G D Hear the sprightly chickadee, gone now is the willow wren D G In passing greet each other as if old, old friends C C/G D And to the voiceless trees it is their own they will lend
[Chorus]
Dmaj7 Gm The days grow short as the nights grow long Dmaj7 Gm The kettle sings its tortured song Dmaj7 Gm A many-petaled kiss I place upon her brow C G C G D Oh my lady, lady I am loving you now
[Bridge]
Gmaj7 D Though all these things will change Gmaj7 D The memories will remain A7 G D As green to gold and gold to brown A7 G D The leaves will fall to feed the ground A7 G D And in their falling make no sound C G C G D Oh my lady, lady, I am loving you now
[Verse 4]
D G I've gathered all my money, I'm going to town C C/G D To buy my lady a long and flowing gown D G 'Cause come tomorrow morning we're off to the county fair C C/G D I'll find a yellow flower and I will lace it in her hair
[Chorus]
Dmaj7 Gm The days grow short as the nights grow long Dmaj7 Gm The kettle sings its tortured song Dmaj7 Gm A many-petaled kiss I place upon her brow C G C G D Oh my lady, lady I am loving you now C G C G D Oh my lady, lady I am loving you now
