_ [D] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] Spring came far too [Dm] early _ this _ year
[F] _ May flowers [C] _
blooming [Dm] in _ _ February
_ _ _ [F] _ Should I [C] be sad for the month [Dm] or glad for the sky
_ _ [F] [G] Birds [F] don't know [C] which way to sing and [Dm] my friend
_ _ [C] _
Neither [Dm] do [Am] I
_ [Dm] _
_ _ _ [F] _ Two [C] days ago a girl [Dm] I truly thought I loved
_ _ [F] _ _ Suddenly [C] _
didn't [Dm] seem to matter _ [Gm] at [Dm] _ all
[F] Should I [C] sing sad farewell [Dm] to things I'm [Am] really glad [Dm] I've left behind
[F] The birds don't [C] know which way to sing [Dm] and my friend
_ [F] _
[C] Neither [Dm] do I _ _
_ _ [G] _ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [Am] _ [Dm] _

[G] _ [F] _ In _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ another [C] day heavy frost [G] [Dm] will lie [D] upon the ground
[Dm] _
And [F] _ buds [C] _ prematurely bloom [Dm] shall fail
And _ _ _
[F] _ every [C] creature living now [Dm] then will surely die
The [F] birds don't [C] know which way to sing and [Dm] my friend
_ [C] Neither _ _ [Dm] do I
_ _ _ _ _ [F]
Birds don't [C] know if it's time [Dm]
yet to fly
_ [F] They don't know [C] which way to go, [Dm] my friend
_ _ [C] _ Neither [Dm] do I
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ [C] _ Neither [Dm] do I
