Short and sweet song. Real easy to play. He's tuned a bit off in the recording so 
it's hard to play along with.

|E   |A   |   X2

E (022100@1)  the last white slabs of snow
A (x02220@1)  melted off seven weeks ago.
E (022100@1)  and the geese are headed north again
A (x02220@1)  through the tightening sky,
          E (022100@1)                 Band (x2444x@1)i can feel my heart in my throat again
E (022100@1)                          A (x02220@1)  new onions growing in the ground.

E (022100@1)  the cows come gingerly out of the barn,
A (x02220@1)  and when they see that the ground is warm,
            Ethey (022100@1)pick up a little speed, it makes me feel so good,
      Aand (x02220@1)i feel it rushing down my throat -- fresh blood,
       E (022100@1)                     Bi (x2444x@1)head out onto the earth, its cold heart is melting,
E (022100@1)                      A (x02220@1)  i don't know if i can stand it.
             E (022100@1)                          Bspringtime's (x2444x@1)coming, that means you'll be coming back around.
E (022100@1)                        A (x02220@1)                 
   new onions growing underground, underground.
