Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

when the winter comes

 the sun is low upon the fields

 the sky is cold

 and it throws down icy snow

the lakes are glass

 the river's all a frozen mass

 the trees are bare

 and the north wind blows the air

 but the children dance and sing

 as if the time were spring

 when the seasons change everything

 they find a joy in what it brings

then the sun comes high

and the spring rains come and go

the summer air is so hot

it melts the russian snow

the fields are brown

and there's no rain to make them grow

and the old ones sigh

the heat has made them tired and slow

but the children dance and sing

as if the time were spring

when the seasons change everything

they find a joy it what it brings

but the children dance and sing

as if the time were spring

when the seasons change everything

they find a joy it what it brings

september leaves are falling

through the autumn haze

and the school bells tell everyone

there'll be no more summer days

warm nights are gone

and all the leaves are turning brown

and the windows close again

when the winter comes around

but the children dance and sing

as if the time were spring

when the seasons change everything

they find a joy in what it brings

so i will laugh and dance

and watch the children sing

and i will have a chance

of finding joy in everything
