A Firm Handshake

Blueberries

A Firm Handshake


Tom: G

G              C        G/B
Dandelions are going to seed
C       G/B    D/A     G
It's my soul I need to feed
G              C        G/B
Trees stand so tall and bare
C          G/B       D/A   G
And here I stand without a care

G G | C G/B | C G/B | D/A G

[Verse 2]

G                   C     G/B
Pumpkin seeds stuck in my teeth
        C         G/B    D/A     G/B
There's something more I need to be
G                C     G/B
More than just a silly girl
C       G/B     D/A    G      C
Waiting for the sun to hurl

[Chorus]

C       G
Rays of sunlight
Em                 G           C
Down the sidewalk, down on me
C       G
Casting light on
    Em                 G                    D
The turning leaves and what I'm supposed to see

[Verse 3]

G                 C       G/B
Winter's here and settled in
    C         G/B    D/A   G
But where are you? I can't begin
G                C      G/B
To imagine where I went wrong
C          G/B        D/A          G
Perhaps it was when I started this song

[Chorus]

C       G
Rays of sunlight
Em                 G           C
Reflecting off the snowflakes
C         G       Em
There are no more crinkly leaves
  G             C
I need to rake

[Bridge]

C         G
There's a chance
  Em      G        F     D
A chance I need to take

[Verse 4]

G                  C    G/B
Birds and bees are here again
   C       G/B          D/A       G
We haven't talked since God knows when
  G                    C         G/B
I like to dance in the sprouting grass
      C     G/B              D/A     G
If it snows again, then I'll have to ask

[Chorus]

C       G
Why the hell are
    Em             G                C
The seasons fickle just like you?
C      G
Rip my heart in half
     Em                   G              D
I'll stitch it up if it's certain we are through

[Verse 5]

G                      C          G/B
Junebugs, butterflies, sand in my pants
C        G/B            D/A          G
Midnight moon and those pesky little ants
G                        C        G/B
You're here once more to try your luck
          C         G/B      D/A             N.C.       C
Well, I'm done with you, you sneaky little

[Chorus]

C        G
Now it's over
Em                       G         C
There's nothing left for us to do
C          G                Em
Besides acknowledging the repelling forces
G            F       C
That are me and you
