They Say Its Spring

     G     Cdim     C          
When I was young I lived in a 
Edim      G
world of dreams
     G       Cdim           C    
Of moods and myths and il - lu - 
      Edim      G
sion - ar - y schemes
       Em                  B7
Though now I'm much more grown up
   Em              B7
I fear that I must own up
        D9               A7
To the fact that I'm in doubt of
         D9     Am7      D7
What the modern cynics shout of.

[Refrain]

 G   G/E       Am7   D7  G   
They say it's spring,   this 
G/E      Am7 Cdim   D7
feeling light as a feather;
     Em  Gdim  B7     Em         
They say this thing, this magic 
  Gdim     B7
we share together
 Am            Em       C   Cdim
Came with the weather, too.

[Verse 2]

G   G/E       Am7  D7  G     
They say it's May     that's 
G/E     Am7 Cdim   D7
made me daft as a daisy;
     Em  Gdim  B7  B7/F# Em    
It's May, they say,        that
          Gdim
 gave the whole world
      B7    Am        Em    C   Cdim
This crazy, heavenly, hazy hue.

       F#7         B7
I'm a lark on the wing
         F#7       Gdim       F#7
I'm the spark of a firefly's fling
Fdim   C  Am Edim       G  E7
Yet to me,   this must be
          C    C/B    Am7       
Something more than a sea - son 
Am7/G  B7  Cdim  D7
- al thing.

[Verse 3]

G    G/E      Am7  D7 G       
Could it be spring,     those 
G/E       Am7   Cdim   D7
bells that I can hear ringing?
   Em  Gdim  B7  B7/F# Em      
It may  be spring,       but 
       Gdim         B7
when the robins stop singing
Cdim             Em      B7
You're what I'm clinging to
Edim    G   G/E       Am7    
Though they say it's spring, 
Cdim  G  G Fdim C Cdim  G G/B
it's you.
  Am7 Cdim

G   G/E  Am7  D7 G      G/E   
If poets sing,     that when a
  Am7    Cdim        D7
 heart's sym - pa - thet - ic
Em   Gdim    B7    B7/F# Em   
It's merely spring,        
         Gdim            B7
then poets plights are pa - thet - 
ic
Am           Em    C  Cdim
Though I'm poetic too,

[Verse 4]
G    G/E       Am7  D7 G   
They say it's spring -- for
G/E       Am7    Cdim       D7
 lovers, there's where the lure is,
Em   Gdim   B7 B7/F# Em       
That evil thing         for 
         Gdim            B7
which Sep - tem - ber the cure is,
Am             Em      C  Cdim
This they are sure is true;

[Bridge]

         F#7            B7
Though I know that it's so
         F#7      Gdim      
That my fancy may turn in the 
   F#7
spring,
Fdim      C   Am Edim     G   E7
With the right   one in sight
         C  C/B      Am7 Am7/G   
One can find a per - pet - u - al
  B7  Cdim  D7
 thing.

G  G/E      Am7  D7 G     G/E 
Did I need spring     to bring
     Am7 Cdim       D7
 the ring that you bought me?
Em     Gdim      B7  B7/F# Em 
Thought it was spring         
               Gdim          B7
that marvelous day that you caught 
me,
Cdim          Em       B7
Darling, I thought we knew,
Edim  G  G/E     Am7    Cdim  G
That it wasn't spring, 'twas 
  G Fdim C Cdim  G G/B  Am7 Cdim G6
you.
