Intro: D4-D2-D4-D2-D

    D4                D2
the pictures that you paint
          D4                  D
aren't as pretty as they once seemed to me
        D4       D2                       D4          D
and the coffee's bitter because it's been boiling too long
        D4        D2
and the jokes you tell
          D4                 D
aren't as funny as they once seemed to me
        D4        D2       D4         D
and the songs you sing are just plain hackneyed

        D     C             G         D
but the stars shine down on all god's children
        D   C           G               D
and the sun sets on the good and on the evil
    D C G     D
and i    know you
    D C G     D
and i    know you

D4-D2-D4-D2-D

    D4        D2      D4         D
the throbbing flowers outside i get it
        D4    D2               D4       D
and the paint peeling from the bathroom wall
        D4           D2    D4 D
and the smile on your face is alive
        D4           D2    D4 D
and the smile on your face is real pretty

        D   C              G         D
and the sun shines down on all god's children
        D     C            G                D
and the stars burn for the good and for the evil
    D C G
and i    know you
    D C G
and i    know you

Early Spring

This is a playable, but not totally accurate version using 
power chords at the 10th, 8th, and 7th frets. Maybe someone can
figure out a better way with this as a starting point.

Intro/Between Verses: G-G-F-F-D#-F-D#-C x2

G                     F
the pictures that you paint
           C                  C
aren't as pretty as they once seemed to me
       G         F                        C           C
and the coffee's bitter because it's been boiling too long
       G          F
and the jokes you tell
           C                 C             
aren't as funny as they once seemed to me
        G          F        C          C
and the songs you sing are just plain hackneyed
         C           A#       G        C      
but the stars shine down on all god's children
         C   A#          G             C 
and the sun sets on the good and on the evil
    C A# G C  
and i know you
    C A# G C
and i know you

the throbbing flowers outside i get it
and the paint peeling from the bathroom wall
and the smile on your face is alive
and the smile on your face is real pretty
and the sun shines down on all god's children
and the stars burn for the good and the evil
and i know you
and i know you
