E
the cows come gingerly out of the barn,
A
and when they see that the ground is warm,
E
they pick up a little speed,

it makes me feel so good,
A
and i feel it rushing down my throat - fresh blood,

     E
i head out onto the earth,
B
its cold heart is melting,
E A
i don't know if i can stand it.

           E                            B
springtime's coming, that means you'll be coming back around.
E A
new onions growing underground,
