E A D
Must fix the fence by the acre plot
Bm E
Two young foxes have been nosing around
Bm A E
The lambs and the chickens won't feel safe until it's done
[Verse 2]
E A D
I must dig a drain by the carrot patch
D Bm E
The whole crop spoils if it gets too damp
Bm
And where will we be with an empty store
A E
When winter comes?
[Chorus]
E Bm
When winter comes
E A
And food is scarce
Bm
We'll warn our toes
E A
To stay indoors
Bm7
When summer's gone
E A
We'll fly away
Bm
And find the sun
E N.C. A N.C.
When winter comes
[Verse 3]
E A D
I must find the time to plant some trees
Bm E
In the meadow where the river flows
Bm A E N.C.
In time to come they'll make good shade for some poor soul
[Chorus]
E Bm
When winter comes
E A
And food is scarce
Bm
We'll warn our toes
E A
To stay indoors
Bm7
When summer's gone
E A
We'll fly away
Bm
And find the sun
E A N.C.
When winter comes
[Verse 4]
E E7 A D
Must fix the fence by the acre plot
Bm E
Two young foxes have been nosing around
Bm A E N.C.
And the lambs and the chickens won't feel safe until it's done
[Chorus]
Bm
When winter comes
E A
And food is scarce
Bm
We'll warn our toes
E A
To stay indoors
Bm
When summer's gone
E A
We gonna fly away
Bm
And find the sun
E N.C. A N.C.
When winter comes
[Outro]
A Bm
And find the sun
E N.C. A
When winter comes
