[Interlude]
E A C D E G F# B

[Verse]
E          A      C     D     E
Now that there are green sprouts pushing through dead leaves,
   A     E    B
and fat yellow jackets float on the breeze,
E          A      C D  E
the waves kiss the shore and the air is warm,
   A        E   A         E
but birch trees are falling now that you are gone.

[Chorus]
A    C      D     E
Once we walked the crumbling cliffs
A     C   D  E
where the birch trees lean;
A    C     D   E
Once I kissed your apple lips
A   E    B
high above the sea.

[Interlude]
E A C D E G F# B

[Verse]
  E      A      C   D   E
A year ago it was when the last clover grew.
A        E     B
Under creaking birch trees I would wait for you.
E         A      C     D    E
We kissed in the salt air between the leaning trees,
A        E    A      E
white slender branches bent to the sea.

[Chorus]
A    C      D     E
Once we walked the crumbling cliffs
A     C   D  E
where the birch trees lean;
   A    C    D   E
now who will kiss your apple lips
A     E   B
under the salty sea

[Outro]
E F#m G#m F#m
