[Verso 1]
Em
with a shrug of her shoulders

the mountain came down

of the million year old rock

from the naked gasping earth

now the winters hit harder
G
the summers are fire
Am
and the rains are the tears of a mother

for a rebellious reckless child
Em
still the spring brings clover
G
amid the blackened oaks
Am
sprays some fledgling branches
C N.C.
and the wild flowers below
[Refrão]
