[Verse 1]
E                               Esus4
Spring won't come, the need of strife
E5  E7             E6        E          Esus4 E5 E7 E6
To struggle to be freed from hard ground,...  mmmhhhmmm
    E                             Esus4
The evening mists that creep and crawl
 E5  E7             E6     E       Esus4 E5 E7 E6
Will drench in the dew and so drown,...  mmmhhhmmm
 
[Chorus]
        E      D A
I'm the green man
    E      D A
The green man
 
[Verse 2]
E
Sol in prime sweet summertime
     F#m        A         E          F#m   A
Cast shadows of doubt on my face, mmmhhhmmm
  E
A midday sun, its caustic hues
  F#m         A        E             F#m   A
Refracting within the still lake, mmmhhhmmm
 
[Chorus]
        E      D A
I'm the green man
    E      D A
The green man
 
[Verse 3]
E
Autumn in her flaming dress
    F#m            A           E         F#m   A
Of orange, brown, gold fallen leaves, mmmhhhmmm
   E
My mistress of the frigid night
   F#m          A     E           F#m   A
I worship pray to on my knees, mmmhhhmmm
 
[Interlude]
D                           C#m
 Winter's breath of filthy snow
                          C
Befrosted paths to the unknown
                            D
Have my lips turned true purple
A                      G#m
 Life is coming to an end
                         G
So says me, me wiccan friend
                      A
Nature coming full circle
 
[Solo]
E F#m A x4

Befrosted paths to the unknown
                            D
Have my lips turned true purple
A                      G#m
 Life is coming to an end
                         G
So says me, me wiccan friend
                      A
Nature coming full circle

Hard to do these guys justice due to their extreme tuning preferences. Getting this done so well AND on acoustic/chords is an impressive feat! I'm favoriting this one.
