The Snows They Melt The Soonest

Tom : Am
Am Em Am Em Am
The snows they melt the soonest when the wind begins to sing
Em Am D
And the corn it ripens fastest when the frosts are settling in
Am Em Am D C
And when a woman tells me that my face she'll soon forget
Am Dm Am Em Am
Before we part I'll wage a crown she's fain to follow it yet

[Verse 2]
Am Em Am Em Am
The snows they melt the soonest when the wind begins to sing
Em Am D
And the swallow flies without a thought as long as it is spring
Am Em Am D C
But when spring goes and winter blows, my love, then you'll be fain
Am Dm Am Em Am
For all your pride to follow me across the raging main

[Verse 3]
Am Em Am Em Am
The snows they melt the soonest when the wind begins to sing
Em Am D
And the bee that flew when summer shone in winter cannot sting
Am Em Am D C
And I've seen a woman's anger melt between the night and morn
Am Dm Am Em Am
So it's surely not a harder thing to melt a woman's scorn

[Verse 4]
Am Em Am Em Am
So don't you bid me farewell, you hear, nor farewell I'll receive
Em Am D
For you will be with me, my love, then you'’ll kiss and take your leave
Am Em Am D C
And I'll wait here till the moorcock calls and the marten takes the wing
Am Dm Am Em Am
For the snows they melt the soonest when the wind begins to sing
