Capo 5

I met Jane in September's throw
C5         F5             A5         F5
January's grass, we let each other go
C5      F5       A5      F5
I met Helen on March's back
C5            F5           A5         F5
She took my coat and she stole my hat
C5         F5        A5          F5
I met you when the weather got fine
C5                   F5        A5            F5
You said 'I've got yours if you've got mine'

        C5         F5       C5      F5
And the worst and best of all we knew
    A5        F5           G5  F5     C5
Stayed out to rust in the morning dew


Didn't take long to sing our love
Was a harvest feast, was a hand to glove
When winter came you couldn't stand to sit
You just the same never burnt but lit
With a world at war and my thoughts on you
I didn't care to fall, there wasn't much to do

And the worst and best of all we knew
Stayed out to rust in the morning dew

Churlish May when the year was fair
Gone full circle when things went square
Ate my meal an un-noble beast
Left me to pay not a movable feast
Look I got nothing, dunno where I am
Got a fistful of questions, not an answer to hand

And the worst and best of all we knew
Stayed out to rust in the morning dew
Morning dew
With a blow me down the road, dead in the wood

Further from you now, then the roots from the leaves
Drunk on the wood, never seen any trees
My ore's out the water and the lake that I'm sailing
Is your dear father's daughter and it's cold and I'm ailing
Are you drowning me slowly, was the school meant to teach
Are you leaving so slowly, where's the shore, where's the beach?

And the worst and best of all we knew
Stayed out to rust in the morning dew
