Am
[Verse]
G D G Am
Maybe ashfields and brine will grow flowers rare
C D F C F
Time and sweet colombine will brighten the air
Dm7 G Em
And all of the sorrows and tears you have known
F Dm7 C G/B Am
Will be cinders and sea where a blossom has grown
Bb G Am
Far from ashfields and brine
[Verse]
D G Am
Turn to the north wind's, cold in your face
C D F C
Ask and you'll find a calm peaceful place
F Dm7 G Em F
A clear-running stream and a forest of pine
Dm7 C G/B Am
A morning for dreams and an evening for wine
Bb G
Far from ashfields and brine
[Verse]
Am D G Am C
Come when the autumn burns through my land
D F C
And let its flame feel warm to your hand
F Dm7 G Em
Stay by my side while the winter comes on
F Dm7 C G/B Am
You may leave in the spring when the memories are gone
Bb G Am
Of the ashfields and brine
[Verse]
D G Am C
Love all the summer, carefree and warm
D F C F
Heed now the calm of the gathering storm
Dm7 G Em
Barren and bitter my last years will be
F Dm7 C G/B Am
From the smoke of the fire and the spray of the sea
Bb G
Leaving ashfields and brine
[Verse]
Am D G Am
Ashfields and brine will grow flowers rare
C D F C F
Time and sweet colombine will brighten the air
Dm7 G Em
And all of the sorrows and tears I have known
F Dm7 C G/B Am
Will be cinders and sea where our blossoms grow
Bb G
Far from ashfields and brine
