FC
So, summer's on the outs,
GDm
Cicadas swim around the house,
FC
Crickets clicking down the block,
AmG
We are on an early morning walk.
[Verse 2]
FC
No one's up, and no cars on the street,
GDm
Hiding from an unrelenting heat,
FC
Sun is climbing out from underneath,
AmDmG
Lighting up and roasting tired leaves.
[Chorus]
FCGDm
Green to gold, going green to gold,
FCAmG
Green to gold, going green to gold.
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
FC
A breeze blew in and autumn came to town,
GDm
Branches bare, the leaves rest on the ground,
FC
All that summer worked to bud and bloom,
AmG
Only to be swept up by a broom.
[Verse 4]
FC
An uninvited frost formed overnight,
GDm
By early afternoon, we're losing light,
FC
Now they're saying two, three feet of snow,
AmG
The reading dips to ten degrees below.
[Verse 5]
FC
Morning's bright, the ancient ice withdraws,
GDm
I take one step and the ground begins to thaw,
FC
Tiny grasses spring up 'round my shoe,
AmG
Eager bits of green start peeking through.
[Verse 6]
FC
Seedlings turn to chutes and shoot up high,
GDm
Thunderclouds hold hostage summer sky,
FC
Concrete's hot with fire it can't contain,
AmG
We sit in front of fans and wait for rain.
[Verse 7]
FC
And just like that, summer's on the outs,
GDm
Cicadas swim around the house,
FC
Crickets clicking down the block,
AmG
While we are on an early morning walk.
[Chorus]
FCGDm
Green to gold, going green to gold,
FCAmG
Green to gold, going green to gold,
FCGDm
Green to gold, going green to gold,
FCAmG
Green to gold, going green to gold.
