#1.
Gm             F          Eb   Cm       Gm
Pussy-willows, cat-tails, soft wind and roses,
Gm                F         Eb    Cm    Gm
Rain pools in the woodland, water to my knees,
Cm         F              Bb             Gm
Shivering, quivering, the warm breath of spring,
Gm             F            Eb   Cm        Gm
Pussy-willows, cat-tails... soft winds and roses.

#2.
Gm           F           Eb Cm       Gm
Catbirds and cornfields, daydreams together,
Gm            F             Eb   Cm           Gm
Riding on the roadside, the dust gets in your eyes,
Cm         F                Bb                Gm
Revelling, disheveling, the summer nights can bring,
Gm             F           Eb   Cm        Gm
Pussy-willows, cat-tails...soft winds and roses.

#3.
Gm               F              Eb    Cm      Gm
Slanted rays and coloured days, stark blue horizons,
Gm              F           Eb   Cm   Gm
Naked limbs and wheat bins, hazy afternoons,
Cm         F            Bb           Gm
Voicing, rejoicing, the wine cups do bring,
Gm             F            Eb   Cm        Gm
Pussy-willows, cat-tails... soft winds and roses.

#4.
Gm               F             Eb        Cm Gm
Harsh nights and candlelights, woodfires a- blazin'.
Gm            F          Eb      Cm    Gm
Soft lips and fingertips resting in my soul,
Cm          F                Bb         Gm
Treasuring, remembering, the promise of spring,
Gm             F          Eb   Cm        Gm
Pussy-willows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses.
