And we'll [C]play all [F]over
We will [C]play all [F]over
We will [C]play all [F]over a[C]gain[G] [G7]
There's a [C]toad in [F]the [C]witch grass
There's a [F]crow in the [C]corn
Wild [F]flowers on a [C]cross by the [G]road[G7]
And [C]somewhere [F]a [C]baby is [F]crying
For her [C]mom
As the [F]hills turn from [C]green back
To [G]gold
