Verse 1
D 
Dm 
G 
When face is good,
Dm 
flowers float out of the ground,
G 
And breathing is wishing,
E 
Eb 
and wishing is having,
Baug 
G 
But keeping is downward,
A 
Ab 
and doubting, and never.
D 
G 
D 
Am 
It's April, yes, April,
D 
G 
my darling, it's spring,
Bm 
Yes, the pretty birds frolic
B 
as friars can fly.
Baug 
Yes, the little fish giggle
G 
Am 
as glories can be.
Ab 
C# 
E 
A 
Yes, the mortars are dancing together.
F 
Faug 
Dm 
When every leaf opens without any sound,
G 
And wishing is having
Fdim 
Eb 
and having is giving,
Baug 
But keeping is doting
Gm 
A 
Ab 
and laughing and nonsense.
G 
A 
D 
Alive, we're alive, dearies,
G 
kiss me now, spring.
Bm 
Now the pretty birds hover
B 
so she and so he,
Baug 
G 
Now the little fish quiver so you and so I,
Em 
A 
Oh, the mountains are dancing,
D 
the mountains.
F#m 
When more than was lost
B 
has been found, has been found,
Baug 
G 
And having is giving,
E 
Eb 
Baug 
and giving is living,
But keeping is darkness
A 
Ab 
in winter and cringing.
G 
But spring!
Am 
All our night becomes day!
D 
Oh, it's spring!
G 
All the pretty birds dive to
Baug 
the heart of the sky,
All the little fish climb
G 
through the wind and the sea,
Edim 
Dm 
G 
D 
Both   mountains are dancing!
G
