Song Of Choice chords by Dick Gaughan
Verse 1
Em
Early every year the
seeds are growing
Unseen, unheard,
they lie beneath the ground
Would you know before
the leaves are showing
That with weeds all your garden will abound
If you close your eyes, stop your ears,
close your mouth
Then how can you know
For seeds you cannot hear
may not be there
Seeds you cannot see may
C

never grow
In

You can cut the weeds

If you leave them to grow high,
D
they'll si lence your voice
Am
And in

close your mouth and take it slow

Let others take the lead and
Am

you bring up the rear

So close your eyes, stop your ears,
A5

shut your mouth, and take it slow

Let others take the lead and

you bring up the rear
D

Later you can say you didn't know

Today you may earn a living wage
D

Tomorrow you may be on the dole

Though there's millions going hungry,
D
you needn't disengage
Am

The leaves are all around us
Am
and they're growing
A

It'll soon be too late for the knife
Am
C
If you leave them on the wind that
D
Am
around the world is blowing
F
G
D
You may pay for your silence with your life
A
Em
So close your eyes, stop your ears,
Am
E
shut your mouth, I never dared
Em
A
And if it happens here,
G
they'll never come for you
D
Because they'll know
Em
G
D
you really didn't care
