[D]Winter [A7]time is so [D]long and I [G]pine
For the [D]warmth of the [A7]spring sun-[D]shine [D]
Flowers [D]bloom in [A7]May, leaves [D]are here to [G]stay
Until [D]autumn [A7]skies turn [D]gray [D]
{c:CHORUS:}
{soc}
The [G]mood is turning [A7]foul [A7]
[D]Smile replaced with a [G]scowl [G]
Yeah they [D]turn the other [G]cheek
Hide the [Em]rope for the next six [A7]weeks
It’s [D]springtime, it’s [G]springtime, it’s [D]springtime [D]
It’s [G]springtime, it’s [A7]springtime, it’s [D]springtime [D]
{eoc}
That [D]soothing [A7]breeze that [D]used to [G]freeze
Now ca-[D]resses, the [A7]flowers and the [D]trees [D]
That [D]gentle [A7]rain it [D]descends a-[G]gain
For all [D]life it [A7]does sus-[D]tain [D]
{c:CHORUS:}
{soc}
The [G]mood is turning [A7]foul [A7]
[D]Smile replaced with a [G]scowl [G]
Yeah they [D]turn the other [G]cheek
Hide the [Em]rope for the next six [A7]weeks
It’s [D]springtime, it’s [G]springtime, it’s [D]springtime [D]
It’s [G]springtime, it’s [A7]springtime, it’s [D]springtime [D]
{eoc}
The [D]longer [A7]day, the [D]children [G]play
And we [D]pack all [A7]winter a-[D]way [D]
A mesmer-[D]izing [A7]song, it’s [D]been so [G]long
The [D]birds are [A7]back where they be-[D]long [D]
{c:CHORUS:}
{soc}
The [G]mood is turning [A7]foul [A7]
[D]Smile replaced with a [G]scowl [G]
Yeah they [D]turn the other [G]cheek
Hide the [Em]rope for the next six [A7]weeks
It’s [D]springtime, it’s [G]springtime, it’s [D]springtime [D]
It’s [G]springtime, it’s [A7]springtime, it’s [D]springtime [D]
{eoc}
[Z]Antihistamines to my chagrin and endless puffs of Ventolin.
[Z]Airborne tree sex, pollen's my vex, and I can't wait for flying insects.

It’s [D]springtime, it’s [G]springtime, it’s [D]springtime [D]
It’s [G]springtime, it’s [A7]springtime, it’s [D]springtime [D]
