Start Jamming...
Of the [Am] snow it melts the soonest when [G] the winds begin to [Am] sing
The corn it ripens fastest when [D] the frosts are [Bm] setting in
And [C] when a young man tells me that [D] my face he'll soon [E] forget
Before [Am] we part I'll tell [F]
him now [Em] he'll be sure to follow [Am] it yet
Of the snow it melts the soonest when [G] the winds begin to sing
The swallow skims without a [D] thought as long [Bm] as it is spring
[C] But when spring goes and winter bluffs [D] my love and [E] you'll be fine
For [Am] all your pride to follow [F] me were [Em] it across the [Am] stormy plain
Of the snow it melts the soonest when [G] the winds begin [Am] to sing
The bee that flew when summer shone [D] in winter [Bm] cannot sting
[C] I've seen a young man's anger [D] melt between the night [E] and morn
And [Am] it's surely not a harder [F]
thing [Em] to tame a young [Am] man's scorn
So never say me farewell here [G] no farewell I'll receive
For you will set me to the [D] starland kiss and take your [Bm] leave
And [Am] I'll stay here till the woodcock comes [D] and the mothlet starts [E] to sing
For the [Am] snow it melts the
[F] soonest [Em] when the winds begin [Am] to sing
