The Song of Purple Summer

Spring Awakening

Bb(add2)
Listen to what's in the heart of a child
F/A
A song so big in one so small
Ab6
Soon you will hear where beauty lies
Cm
You'll hear and you'll recall
Bb(add2)
The sadness the doubt all the loss the grief
F/A
Belongs to some play from the past
Ab6
As the child leads the way to a dream, a belief
Cm
A time of hope through the land.

G(add4)
A summers day
G(add4)
A mother sings
Dm(add4)
A song of purple summer
C(add2) Dm7/C
Through the heart of everything

G(add4)
And Heavan waits
G(add4)
So close it seems
Dm(add4)
To show her child the wonder
C(add2) Dm7/C
Of a world beyond her dreams

Cm G Gsus2
The Earth will wave with corn
Cm G Gsus2
The days so wide, so warm
Cm Dm Cm/Eb
F G F(add2) Eb Bb/D C(add2)
And Mares will neigh with stallions that they mate Foals
they've bourne
Bbsus F(add2)/A G(add4) G
And all shall know the wonder of Purple Summer


G(add4)
And so I wait
G(add4)
The swallow brings
Dm(add4)
A song of what's to follow
C(add2)
The glory of the spring
G(add4)
The fences sway
G(add4)
The porches swing
Dm(add4)
The clouds begin to thunder
C(add2) Dm7/C
Crickets wander murmuring


Cm G Gsus2
The Earth will wave with corn
Cm G Gsus2
The days so wide, so warm
Cm Dm Cm/Eb
F G F(add2) Eb Bb/D C(add2)
And Mares will neigh with stallions that they mate Foals
they've bourne
Bbsus F(add2)/A
And all shall know the wonder
AbMaj7 G Gsus2
I will sing the song of Purple Summer
Bbsus F(add2)/A
All shall know the wonder
AbMaj7 G Gsus2
I will sing the song of Purple Summer
Bbsus F(add2)/A G(add4) G
And all shall know the wonder of Purple Summer
