Tom: C
C
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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
