Bm7We set out in the Spring
With a tDrunkful of books about everything.
Bm7About solar devices
And hoDw nice natural childbirth is.
Cmaj7We cutE down some trees and trailed our ideals
ThB7rough the forest glade.
Cmaj7We damEmed up the stream and the kids cooled their heels
InB7 the fishing pool we made.
EmWe held Em7hands and we exchanged bands
AnCd weCmaj7 practicaDlly lived off the land.
Bm7You adopted a fox cub
Whose moDther was somebody's coat.
Bm7You fed him by hand, then snuggled him down
In the Dgrandfather bed, while I wrote.
Cmaj7And weE grew our own maize
And B7I only occasionally went into town
Cmaj7To stoEck up on antibiotics
And B7shells for the shotgun that I kept around.
EmI told Em7the kids stories while you worked your loom
AndC the suCmaj7n went dowDn sooner each day.

Bm7Then the leaves all fell down,
And thDe crops all turned brown. It was over.
Bm7As the first snowflakes fell
I realizDed all was not well in the camp.
Cmaj7The kiEds caught bronchitis,
The spacB7e heater ran out of diesel,
One Cmaj7weekenEd a friend from the east
(Rot hB7is soul) stole your heart.
EmI said, Em7D2Fuck it then, take the kids back to town,
CMaybe ICmaj7'll see DyoDadd9u around. D

ToC tCmaj7he wind Dand the rain,

LeftEm our lEm7itter and trash
And CsetCmaj7 out
DOn Dadd9the roGad again.
