Verse 1

D               C           
I woke up today and found snow 
    G                       D     
perched on the ground
  Dsus2           D

D               G           
It hovered in a frozen sky and 
    A7                      D     
gobbled summer down
  Dsus2           D

G                               F
So when the leaves were trembling
G                       F    
Frozen trees were standing in a 
           A7
lonely row

Chorus

D                       C  G    
I get the urge for going but I 
                D       Dsus2     
never seem to go
      D

F               G        D      
And I get the urge for going 
        F       G               D
when the meadow grass is turning 
brown
F                 G     D       
And summertime is falling down 
                D
and winter's moving in

I had a love in summertime with 
summer-colored skin
And not another one in town my 
darling's heart could win
But when the sky turned traitor cold
And bully winds did rub their noses 
in the snow

Chorus

She got the urge for going and I had
 to let her go
And she got the urge for going when 
the meadow grass was turning brown
Summertime was falling down and 
winter's moving in

Verse 3

The warriors of winter gave a cold 
triumphant shout
Now all that dies is staying and all
 that lives is getting out
See the geese in chevron flight
Flurrying and flapping through the 
naked sky

Chorus

They got the urge for going
They've got the wings to fly
They get the urge for going when the
 meadow grass is turning brown
And summertime is falling down and 
winter's moving in

Verse 4

I'll ply the fire with kindling and 
pull the blankets to my chin
I'll lock the vagrant winter out and
 bolt my wandering in
I'd like to call back summertime
And ask her just to stay another 
month or so


Chorus

      D         C
But she got the urge for going
G                       D       
I guess she'll have to go
Dsus2           D

F               G        D      
And she got the urge for going 
        F       G               D
when the meadow grass was turning 
brown
F                 G     D  
Summertime is falling down and 
                     D
winter's moving in
F               G        D      
And she got the urge for going 
        F       G               D
when the meadow grass was turning 
brown
F                 G     D       
All my empires are fallen down 
D                       C
and winter's moving in
