[Intro]
Am F Em
Am F Em
[Verse 1]
Am
Autumn's ashes, summer's embers
F Em
On the sidewalk come September
Am
Suddenly I can't remember
F Em Am
Any lessons learned
Am
Now that I'm a migrant picker
F Em
Trouble-minded tin-can-kicker
Am
I wish my skin was thicker
F Em Am
The air has turned
Am F Em
Am F Em
Am
I can live alone, I said
F Em
I can make my lonesome bed
Am
I don't need a hole for a head
F Em Am
I don't need a lover
Am
But he caught me by surprise
F Em
I fell down and saw him rise
Am F
'Til he was larger in my eyes
Em Am
Than any other
[Chorus]
Am G D/F# C/F
How suddenly the summer died
Am G D/F# C/F
I couldn't bring it back to life
Am G D/F# C/F
I couldn't sing it back to life
N.C. Am
But I tried
Am F Em
Am F Em
[Verse 2]
Am
Came to him in summer clothing
F Em
Came to him because I chose him
Am
Came to find his fingers frozen
F Em Am
He would not reach for me
Am
Came to him for his sweet song
F Em
Came to him for right or wrong
Am
Came to find his heart belonged
F Em Am
To one who came before me
[Chorus]
Am G D/F# C/F
How suddenly the sweetness died
Am G D/F# C/F
I couldn't bring it back to life
Am G D/F# C/F
I couldn't sing it back to life
N.C. Am
But I tried
Am F Em
Am F Em
[Verse 3]
Am
Autumn's ashes, summer's embers
F Em
On the sidewalk come September
Am
Suddenly I can't remember
F Em Am
Any lessons learned
Am
Now that I'm a migrant picker
F Em
Trouble-minded tin-can-kicker
Am
I wish my skin was thicker
F Em Am
The air has turned
