Another Spring chords by Leon Bibb
Verse 1
Em
A
In Louisville, Kentucky,
D
A
in the wintertime, around February,
G
D
F#m
my grandmother, who was 88 years old
A
the last time I remember her doing this,
D
would set out her bulbs.
F#m
D
Bm
She would dig holes in the hard earth
Em
that was just beginning to thaw,
pop a bulb into it,
screw the top off
D
of one of those old blue mason jars
Em
so the sun's rays in the spring
would hurt her flowers,
F#
Bbm
and squinch it down over the bulb.
A
Get up, brush off her legs
D
and say, Sonny,
A
Em
when you get as old as Nanny
A
and the cold gets into your bones,
you just don't want to go on.
Em
And I laughed and I said, Nanny,
D
you said that last year
Em
and the year before
F#
Bm
and the year before that.
F#
Bm
Sometimes the cold gets in my bones
Em
till I just can't go on
Bm
F#
And for a little while, well, I don't care
Bm
if my days are coming to an end
just as soon be gone
Em
D
Sometimes a night comes down on me
F#m
and I know what's ahead
A
Em
A
And even in this cold old house
D
F#m
D
with no one to say goodnight to me
when I go to bed
Em
Bm
F#
Sometimes I wonder why I stay,
D
Em
what am I waiting for.
Bm
My children are grown
F#
and gone away,
D
they've got children of their own,
Bm
Em
they don't need me no more.
D
In winter, when the streets are bare,
Em
there is nothing much to see.
A
I can't help missin' think about
F#m
that black old man
G
that one old winter time
Em
A
took away from me.

Then one morning,

another spring is there

outside my door

Things are blooming, birds are singing

And suddenly, well,

I ain't sad no more
G
A
D
Oh, when it's warm
G

and the sun is up,
D

it's like my heart's re stored.
Em
G
D
G
I had my love, I had my children,
F#m
and I have so many memories.
G

So don't mind me complaining,
G

what the years may bring.

Cause this old world's
