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

The bounty harvest that seemed so endless

Prosperity will have its seasons
G Asus4
Even when it's here, it's going by
G A Bm 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

And when it's gone we pretend we know the reasons
