INTRO: Bb5
Bb5 A5
Awful sweet to be a little butterfly
Bb5 A5
Just wingin' over things, and nothing deep inside.
Fmaj7 E7
Nothin' goin', goin' wild in you, you know
Cadd9 Bbadd9
You're slowin' by the riverside, or floatin' high and blue.
Bb5 A5
Or maybe cool to be a little summer wind
Bb5 A5
Like, once through everything, and then away again.
Fmaj7 E7
With a taste of dust in your mouth all day, but no need to know.
Cadd9 Bbadd9
Like sadness. You just sail away
Am Em Cadd9 Bbadd9
'Cause you know, I don't do sadness, not even a little bit
Fmaj7 Am
Just don't need it in my life, don't want any part of it
Em Cadd9
I don't do sadness.
Bbadd9 Fmaj7
Hey I've done my time. Lookin' back on it all, man, it blows my mind.
Am Em
I don't do sadness, so been there.
Cadd9 Fmaj7
Don't do sadness, just don't care.

INTRO: Am

Blue wind gets so sad,

Blowin' through the thick corn, through the bales of hay,
Am Em
Through the open books on the grass...
C Fmaj7
Spring and summer.
D Dadd9
Sure, when it's autumn,
Fadd9 G Gsus2/4
Wind always wants to creep up and haunt you,
G F
Whistlin' it's got you.
Am Em
With its heartache, with its sorrow
C Fmaj7
Winter wind sings, and it cries.
Am Em
Spring and summer, every other day.
Bb
Blue wind gets so pained,
Fmaj7
Blowin' through the thick corn, through the bales of hay,
Am Em
Through the sudden drift of the rain...
C Fmaj7
Spring and summer...
