        F              C          Dm                 G G/A G/B
When spring is in the air and the world is fresh and fair,
           F         Am     G    C
When the dawn of the day is a-breaking,

When the height of the sky is a-lightning
     F                 C             Dm             G G/A G/B
Your laughter and your tears are the summer of your years,

When the evening star is starting,
       F               C          Dm            G G/A G/B
In the autumn of your days, walk gently in your ways
          F          Am     G      C
When the dusk of the day is a-darkening,

You can hear the winter horn on the long road home,

When the end of the day is a-falling.
