Verse 
E                    A            C         D          E 
Now that there are green sprouts pushing through dead leaves, 
     A          E       B 
and fat yellow jackets float on the breeze, 
E                    A            C  D   E 
the waves kiss the shore and the air is warm, 
     A               E      A                 E 
but birch trees are falling now that you are gone. 
 
A        C           D         E 
Once we walked the crumbling cliffs 
A          C      D    E 
where the birch trees lean; 
A       C          D      E 
Once I kissed your apple lips 
A      E        B 
high above the sea. 


Interlude 
E A C D E G F# B 

Verse 
   E           A            C     D      E 
A year ago it was when the last clover grew. 
A               E          B 
Under creaking birch trees I would wait for you. 
E                 A           C         D       E 
We kissed in the salt air between the leaning trees, 
A               E       A           E 
white slender branches bent to the sea. 

A        C           D         E 
Once we walked the crumbling cliffs 
A          C      D    E 
where the birch trees lean; 
     A        C        D      E 
now who will kiss your apple lips 
A          E     B 
under the salty sea
