(Fingerpick this part how you see fit)
Pick C lightly    G                             C
Though bells will ring church steeples catchin' fire
                   G                            C
And if you promise spring then I know you are a liar

(Strum this part)
              Am                               C
'Cause in the spring tender grasses won't burn easily
                Am                        Em
Though thrushes sing still my lover won't return to me
     F                    C
Wild parsnips, they still scald my lungs
      G                     C
While thistles will burn my feet
           F        C               G          C
And if you join our chorus you will never fear anymore
        F         C              G               C
So here comes the chorus, we will meet on a fatal shore

F                          C       G
Souverian, souverian, the elder Oh-oh
F                        C       G
Souverian, souverian the free Oh-oh
F                       C           G
Souverian, souverian we felt her Oh-oh
F                                 C
So very young, so very young were we

(Play the whistling melody again here)

           Am                        C
Birds will sing still my lover won't return to me
            Am                          Em
You promise spring still my lover won't return to me
     F        C                  G
Wild parsnips scald my lungs and thistles are burning my
C
feet
           F         C              G          C
So here it comes the chorus, you'll never fear anymore
       F        C              G         C
If you join our chorus we will meet on a fatal shore

F
Under the elders the older get younger
    C
The younger get over, over their elders
    F 			                       C (piano)
And under the elders pretend that you're older now
F
Under the elders the older get younger
    C
The younger get over, over the elders
F				       C
Under the elders bending your branches down

			    Am                C
We who are so very young still my lover won't return to me
             Am                        Em
The thrushes sing still my lover won't return to me
F			 C                    G
Wild parsnips they still scald my lungs while thistles
	      C
still burn my feet
