Short and sweet song. Real easy to play. He's tuned a bit off in the recording so it's hard to play along with. |C |F | X2

C
   the last white slabs of snow

F
   melted off seven weeks ago.

C
   and the geese are headed north again

F
   through the tightening sky,

          C                   G
and i can feel my heart in my throat again

C                            F
   new onions growing in the ground.

C
   the cows come gingerly out of the barn,

F
   and when they see that the ground is warm,

            C
they pick up a little speed, it makes me feel so good,

      F
and i feel it rushing down my throat -- fresh blood,

       C                       G
i head out onto the earth, its cold heart is melting,

C                        F
   i don't know if i can stand it.

             C                            G
springtime's coming, that means you'll be coming back around.

C                          F                   
   new onions growing underground, underground.
