Verse 1
From (A minor) the (E major) (A minor)
Hudson River
to the (G major) San Francisco Bay
See (C major) (F major) a land vermin infested
(D minor) and a people in de (D major) cay
Watch (B minor) (E major) (E minor) the (A minor) smokestacks
slowly (Dsus4) puffin'
as the (D minor) winter turns to spring
(B minor) An (E major) d (D minor) the springtime
bring (A minor) s a (C major) silence (F major)
(F sharpdim) To the (C major) shepherd and his king, (E major)
the si (A minor) lent spring
(D major) The (D minor) deadly spring, (E major) (E minor) (E major) the (A minor) silent spring
(Esus4) (A minor) (Asus4) (Esus4) (D major) (A minor)
Greenness, turn to brownness,
turn to (G major) blackness, turn (E minor) (C major) to ash.
(F major) Would you sell your children's future
if (D minor) they (Dsus4) offered (D minor) you (E major) the cash?
But (A minor) this season they're (Dsus4) creat (D major) ing,
you ac (D minor) cept without a fight (Esus4)
Plastic (E major) (D minor) birds and concrete flowers (C major) (F major)
That's (F sharpdim) in an (C major)
(Gsus4) everlast (C major) ing night (E major)
The silent (A minor) spring, (D major) the deadly spring (D minor)
(F major) A si (E major) lent (A minor) spring (D major) (A minor) (E minor)
(Esus4) (D major) (B flat minor) (E flat major) (B flat minor)
Oh (E flat major) my (B flat minor) God
Forgive our leaders
For they know not what they do
They happen to (E flat major) be (G flat major) dumb
And weak (D flat major) and wealthy
(G flat major) And mistaken (E flat minor) in (D flat major) their view
(F minor) You (F major) can't (B flat minor) fool with Mother (E flatsus4) Nature
She (E flat minor) surely will beat at (G flat major) your (D flat major) game
(E flat major) If (D flat major) you (E flat minor) eat the poison berries (D flat major) (G flat major)
(Gdim) You know you are (D flat major) really quite in (F major) sane
For death (B flat minor) will cling that (E flat major) sudden (E flat minor) sting
The (G flat major) silent (F major) (B flat minor) spring (B flat major) (F minor)
(E flat major) The (Faug) silent (B flat minor) spring,
(E flat major) the (C minor) (C major) (F minor) si (B flat minor) lent spring, (E flat minor)
(E flat major) the (D flat major) (C minor) deadly, (C major) the (F minor) deadly,
the si (B flat minor) lent spring. (B flat major)
Thank you so much.
