(Fingerpick this part how you see fit)
Pick C lightly G C
Though bells will ring church steeples catchin' fire
And if you promise [G]spring then I know you are a [C]liar
(Strum this part)
'Cause in the [Am]spring tender grasses won't burn [C]easily
Though thrushes [Am]sing still my lover won't [Em]return to me
Wild [F]parsnips, they still [C]scald my lungs
While [G]thistles will burn my [C]feet
And if you [F]join our [C]chorus you will [G]never fear [C]anymore
So here [F]comes the [C]chorus, we will[G] meet on a fatal[C] shore
[F]Souverian, souverian, the e[C]lder Oh-[G]oh
[F]Souverian, souverian the [C]free Oh-[G]oh
[F]Souverian, souverian we [C]felt her Oh-[G]oh
[F]So very young, so very young were [C]we
(Play the whistling melody again here)
Birds will [Am]sing still my lover won't [C]return to me
You promise [Am]spring still my lover won't [Em]return to me
Wild [F]parsnips [C]scald my lungs and [G]thistles are burning my
[C]feet
So here it [F]comes the [C]chorus, you'll [G]never fear [C]anymore
If you [F]join our [C]chorus we will [G]meet on a [C]fatal shore

[F]Under the elders the older get younger
The [C]younger get over, over their elders
F C (piano)
And under the elders pretend that you're older now
[F]Under the elders the older get younger
The [C]younger get over, over the elders
[F]Under the elders bending your branches [C]down
We who are so very young sti[Am]ll my lover won't [C]return to me
The thrushes [Am]sing still my lover won't [Em]return to me
[F]Wild parsnips they still [C]scald my lungs while [G]thistles
still burn my [C]feet
