Key: A
Introduction:
A F#m D9 E7 Dm6
Once I was a sentimental thing
A F#m D9 E7 A7M
Threw my heart away each spring
Fº A7M Cº Bm7(b5) A7M
Now a spring romance hasn't got a chance
D9 Bm7(b5) A7M C#m7(b5) F#m7
Promised my first dance to winter
D9 Bm7(b5) E7 A B7 D9 D6 Dm6 Fº E7
All I've got to show's a splinter for my little fling
D9 D E7(13) Bbm9 E7 Fº A7M
Spring this year has got me feeling
A7M D9 Bm7(b5) A7M C#m7(b5)
Like a horse that never left the post
D7M D6 Dm7M Dm6
I lie in my room, staring up at the ceiling
D9 Bm7(b5) E Bm7(b5) A7M
Spring can really hang you up the most
A Bm7 C#m7 D
Morning's kiss wakes trees and flowers
A7M D9 Bm7(b5) A7M C#m7(b5)
And to them I'd like to drink a toast
D7M D6 A C#m7(b5) B7
But I walk in the park just to kill the lonely hours
D9 Bm7(b5) E Bm7(b5) A7M
Spring can really hang you up the most
Gº A Gº G A
All afternoon the birds twitter-twitt
Gº A Gº G
I know the tune "This Is Love, This Is It"
A Am7 G A Am7 G A
Heard it before, and don't I know the score
E C#m7(b5) A B7
And I've decided that spring is a bore
E A9 A7M D9
Love seems sure around the new year
A7M C#m7(b5) D9 Bm7(b5) A7M C#m7(b5)
Now it's April, love is just a ghost
C#7 D7M D6 Dm6 A C#m7(b5) B7
Spring arrived on time, only what became of you, dear
D9 Bm7(b5) E Bm7(b5) C#m7(b5) F#7
Spring can really hang you up the most
D9 Bm7(b5) E Bm7(b5) A7M
Spring can really hang you up the most
Gº A Gº G A
Love came my way, I thought it would last
Gº A Gº G A
We had our day, now it's all in the past
Am7 G A Am7 G A
Spring came along, a season of song
E C#m7(b5) A B7
Full of sweet promise, but something went wrong
E A9 A7M D9
Doctors once prescribed a tonic
A7M C#m7(b5) D9 Bm7(b5) A7M C#m7(b5)
Sulfur and molasses was the dose
C#7 D7M D6 Dm6 D B7
Didn't help one bit my condition must be chronic
D9 Bm7(b5) E Bm7(b5) C#m7(b5) F#7
Spring can really hang you up the most
D9 A7M D9 A7M
All alone, the party is over
D9 Dm6 A7M C#m7(b5) B7
Old man winter was a gracious host
Cº D7M Dm6 A C#7 F#7
But when you keep praying for snow to hide the clover
D9 D E7(13) Bbm9 E7 Fº A7M
Spring can really hang you up the most
