Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
i love this song. wish i wrote it.
hard to sing, though,
unless you've got pitch-perfect 3 part harmony...
i LOVE the dissonant verses , which i used to drive my ex-landlady
crazy listening to at top volume 15 years ago (but it served her
right,as she'd make me nuts listening to opera at 1000 decibles...)
i think this is right, but maggie tunes her guitar down to,
i think, Eb (if you want to play along w/the recording).
corrections, suggestions, etc. are welcome.

One season I was born
E D
fell down like an acorn
A F#m
I am the only tree
D E A
and everybody leaves
D A D
I've got to get away from you
A D A D
A D
Bud growing up at me
E D
resentful face I see
A F#m
a harsh light seems to damn you
D E A
is it because I am you?
D A D
I've got to get away from you
A D A D
i need to find a love that's true
A D
Loose leaf lay on the bed
E D
hair falling around her head
A F#m
I watched her from the shore
D E A
I can't do any more
D A D
I've got to get away from you
A D A D
I'll come and visit you in the zoo
(dissonant verse!)
A D
We go on arguing
E D
no one can say a thing
A F#m
set down your key and trumpet
D E A
go have a dream and hump it
D A D
I've got to get away from you
A D A D
you don't know what you put me through
G C D C G..Em...Am... C G C...G E
aahhhh....
A D
Prized fighter with bruised pride
E D
a fuse blew when you tried
A F#m
to fix the worn out wire
D E A
and set the house on fire
D A D
I've got to get away from you
A D A D
if only for a day or two
A D A D
you don't know what you put me through
A D A D
I'll come and visit you in the zoo

I need to find a love that's true
