Every Season, by Nichole Nordeman
transcription by Mark Stefaniw
Verse 1:
Eb/AbEb/GEb/AbEb/G
Every evening sky an invitation to trace the patterned stars
And early in July, a celebration for freedom that is ours
Cm7Cm7/B
And I notice you. In children's games
Cm7/BbAm7b5
And those who watch from the shade
AbM7Eb/GFmBbEb/AbEb/G (2x)
Every drop of sun is full of fun and wonder- you are summer
Verse 2:
Eb/AbEb/GEb/AbEb/G
And even when the trees have just surrendered to the harvest time
Forfeiting their leaves in late September and sending us inside
Cm7Cm7/B
Still I notice you when change begins
Cm7/BbAm7b5
And I am braced for colder winds
AbM7Eb/GFmBbEb/AbEb/G (2x)
I will offer thanks for what has been and what's to come - you are autumn
(Interlude goes thru some changes.)
Verse 3: (bring it down an rebuild it again)
Eb/AbEb/GEb/AbEb/G
And everything in time and under heaven finally falls asleep
Wrapped in blankets white all creation shivers underneath
Cm7Cm7/B
And still I notice you when branches crack
Cm7/BbAm7b5
And in my breath on frosted glass
AbM7Eb/GmFmBb
Even now in death you open doors for life to enter you are winter
Modulate up a step to FVerse 4:
F/BbF/AF/BbF/A
And everything that's new has bravely surfaced teaching us to breathe
And what was frozen through is newly purposed turning all things green
Dm7Dm7/Db
So it is with you and how you make me new
Dm7/CBm7b5
With every seasons change
BbM7F/AGmCF/BbF/A (2x)
And so it will be as you are recreating me Summer autumn winter spring
