Every Season, by Nichole Nordeman
transcription by Mark Stefaniw
Verse 1:
Eb/AbEbEb/AbEb
Every evening sky an invitation to trace the patterned stars
And early in July, a celebration for freedom that is ours
CmCm7
And I notice you. In children's games
Cm7Am7
And those who watch from the shade
AbM7EbFmBbEb/AbEb (2x)
Every drop of sun is full of fun and wonder- you are summer
Verse 2:
Eb/AbEbEb/AbEb
And even when the trees have just surrendered to the harvest time
Forfeiting their leaves in late September and sending us inside
CmCm7
Still I notice you when change begins
Cm7Am7
And I am braced for colder winds
AbM7EbFmBbEb/AbEb (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/AbEbEb/AbEb
And everything in time and under heaven finally falls asleep
Wrapped in blankets white all creation shivers underneath
CmCm7
And still I notice you when branches crack
Cm7Am7
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:
FFFF
And everything that's new has bravely surfaced teaching us to breathe
And what was frozen through is newly purposed turning all things green
DmDm7
So it is with you and how you make me new
Dm7Bm7
With every seasons change
BbM7FGmCFF (2x)
And so it will be as you are recreating me Summer autumn winter spring
