6 = D

            D             G
     Summer lasted a generation

      G/F#  Em7                         Asus4
     A generation - and then the winter wind

                D                      G
     The bounty harvest that seemed so endless

        G/F#      Em7                                 Asus4
     It seemed so endless until it gave what it could give



    G           Asus4    D
Prosperity will have its seasons

               G                Asus4
Even when it's here, it's going by

              G          Amaj             Bmin   B+2
And when it's gone we pretend we know the reasons

    G             Asus4                 G    Asus4
And all the roots grow deeper when it's dry



                  D                   G
     It looked so easy, we change the weather

      G/F#    Em7                           G        Asus4
     We would turn this world ourselves our world so small

                D               G
     But slower rhythms - still unheard of

     G/F#      Em7                      Asus4      D
     Said that every blessed summer someday has to fall



    G           Asus4    D
Prosperity will have its seasons

               G                Asus4
Even when it's here, it's going by

              G          Amaj             Bmin    B+2
And when it's gone we pretend we know the reasons

    G                  Asus4            G    D           G  Asus4
And all the roots grow deeper when it's dry,   when it's dry

               G                Asus4
