Chords for Nina Simone - It Might As Well Be Spring (1959)

_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [G#] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ The things I used to _ [F#m] like, I don't like [A] anymore _ _
I want [B] a lot of other things I've never had before _ _ _
[D] It's just [Dm] like my [A] mama _ [E] says
_ _ [Bm] I sit [D] around and [F] moan
_ _ [Bm] _ [Dm] Pretending that I am [B] so [E] wonderful
_ _ _ [Bm]
And _ knowing _ _ _ I'm _ [D] a doll
_ [E] _
_ _ [A] I'm as restless _ [C#m]
as a willow [A] in a _ windstorm
_ _ _ I'm as jumpy _ as a [Em] puppet on a string
[A] _
_ _ _ [D] _ I'd say that I _ had [A] spring fever _ _
_ _ [Bm] But I [E] know _ _ [A] it isn't [Bm] _ [C#m] spring
_ [Bm] _ _ [A] _ I'm as starry-eyed and vaguely _ discontented _ _
_ _ Like a _ nightingale without a [Em] song to sing
[A] _
_ [D] Oh, _ why _ should I _ [A] have spring fever _
_ _ [Bm] When it _ _ [E] _ _
isn't [A] even spring?
_ [D] _ _
[E] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Bm] I keep wishing [Em] I were somewhere [E] else _
[A] _ _ [Em] _ _ Walking [A] down [D#] a [D] strange new street
[Em] _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ Hearing [F#] _
words that [C#] I have never, never heard
_ [F#m] From a man [B] I've yet [E] to _ meet _ _
_ [A] I'm as busy [C#m] as a spider spinning [A] _ _ _ _ daydreams
_ I'm as giddy _ as a baby [Em] on a swing
[A] _ _
_ _ [D] _ I haven't seen a crocus _ [A] or a _ rosebud _
[D] _ _ [Bm] _ Or a [E] robin or a bluebird [C#] on the wing
[F#] _ _
_ [B] But I _ feel so gay [E] in a _ _ melancholy way
[A] That it might as well [B] be spring _ _ _
_ _ [A] It might [F#m] _ _
_ _ [Bm] as _ [E] well _ be
[C#] _ _ Might _ _
_ _ [F#] as well _ be
_ [Bm] _ _ [D] _ _ It _ might as well _ [B] _
_ _ be _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Spring
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [A#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ [D#] _ _ _ _
