[verse: 1]
|Em             |D         |C            |Em   |
 Pussy-willows, cat-tails, soft wind and roses
|Em                |D        |C          |Em   |
 Rain pools in the woodland, water to my knees
|Am         |D             |G             |E    |
 Shivering, quivering, the warm breath of spring
|Em             |D          |C             |Em    |Emadd9  |Dbm7b5  |C  Am |Em  |
 Pussy-willows, cat-tails   soft winds and roses
 
[verse: 2]
|Em           |D          |C          |Em    |
 Catbirds and cornfields, daydreams together
|Em            |D            |C                |Em    |
 Riding on the roadside, the dust gets in your eyes
|Am         |D               |G                |E     |
 Revelling, disheveling, the summer nights can bring
|Em             |D          |C             |Em    {Emadd9  |Dbm7b5  |C  Am|Em  ||Dbm7b5  |C  Am |
 Pussy-willows, cat-tails   soft winds and roses
 
[verse: 3]
|Em               |D             |C            |Em    |
 Slanted rays and coloured days, stark blue horizons
|Em              |D          |C       |Em     |
 Naked limbs and wheat bins, hazy afternoons
|Am         |D           |G           |E     |
 Voicing, rejoicing, the wine cups do bring
|Em             |D          |C             |Em    {Emadd9  |Dbm7b5 |C  Am |Em  |
 Pussy-willows, cat-tails   soft winds and roses
 
[verse: 4]
|Em               |D            |C         |Em      |
 Harsh nights and candlelights, woodfires ablazing
|Em            |D         |C            |Em    |
 Soft lips and fingertips resting in my soul
|Am          |D               |G         |E     |
 Treasuring, remembering, the promise of spring
|Em             |D          |C             |Em    {
 Pussy-willows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses
