Season 320: You Ain't Heard Nothing Yet

Low hanging fruit,but somebody had to do it !!


 
On Sunday we had a gig playing at a local farmer's market. We were so cold we packed up early and went home to get warm. That gave me the idea for this song, which came to me yesterday morning while I was lying in bed. (keeping warm, of course :eek:ld: :music:)


Spring Ain't What it Used to Be
Geoff Walker

Chorus
[C]Spring is cold and [F]wet this [C]year
[Am]Spring ain't [F]what it [G7]used to [C]be


[C]We look outside and [F]it is snowing
[Am]The seeds we sowed [C]well they ain't [G]growing
[C]The weather here is [F]cold and [C]wet
The [Am]daffo[F]dils ain't [G7]showing [C]yet
Chorus

The weather should be getting better
But instead, it's getting wetter
The birds they should be building nests
Where is our bright coat robin redbreast?
Chorus

To the farmers market some tunes to play
We got so cold we could not stay
The weatherman says the cold will go
But the hills are covered in snow
Chorus

Oh why is spring so cold this year
It's climate change, that's what I hear
Most believe but some say nay
But the evidence is clear, I say.
Chorus x2

Hi Randy,
cain't believe this one hasnt shown up yet!

 
More Dylan! First one that came to mind. Allow me to plat Jocko to Caz’s Rob.

 
I'm behind on watching videos, so I won't be surprised if someone did this one already, since Leonard Cohen seems to be kind of a go-to guy for a lot of uke players, lol. I used his original lyrics, but the way I sang it is much more heavily influenced by the Jennifer Warnes cover than by how he sang it. I actually did it in the same key as Cohen, but sang a whole octave higher.
