The Time For Flowers

C

F        C        G      Am
I went walking down the road
F              C        G
with a heavy heart and miles left to go
        F            C         G              Am
when I came upon a woman in a field on her knees
F                 C               G
singing ancient songs and sowing wildflower seeds
F                   C         G              Am
tell me what's the point in planting pretty things
F                   C       G
in these days of darkness        and disease
F              C         G          Am
the world is burning have you not heard
F                                    G
she smiled and said honey I've lived long enough to learn

N.C.         C            F    C
the time for flowers will come again
         Dm                 F G
maybe in one year, maybe in ten
          C        F        C
there are days despair will win
C            Dm         G            C
the time for floooooowers will come again

F       C        G             Am
I have witnessed funerals and wars
F       C              G
worried mothers empty shelves and empty stores
F               C             G         Am
the storms will rage and the winds will blow
F                                      G
and you are gonna find out that you're stronger than you know

N.C.             C             F    C
and the time for flowers will come again
         Dm                F G
maybe in one year maybe in ten
          C        F         C
there are days despair will win
C                Dm         G            C
but the time for floooooowers will come again

         F              C       G                   Am
and when I woke up this morning something deep had shifted
F           C                  G
the sun was coming out and the clouds had finally lifted
F                      C              G               Am
it's time to fix whats broken all the willing and the able
    F               C                  G
and when our honest work is done we'll gather round the table
      F                 C          G                 Am
we'll hold each other's babies and pour each other's wine
F            C                G
promise to remember that your fate's bound up in mine
F             C             G       Am
the skies are clear now the moon is new
F                               G
let's raise a glass my friends, we made it through

N.C.            C           F    C
and the time for flowers has come again
          Dm                     G
I know it seemed the world would end
           C       F        C
there were days despair did win
C                Dm         G            Am
but the time for floooooowers has come again
                 Dm         G            C
but the time for floooooowers has come again
