I Wouldn't Hear A Word Against The Spring

Bb                 C13                Cm7(add4)     F7   F9(#5)
I wouldn't hear a word against the spring

Bb             C13                 Cm7         D7
Whatever it decides is right with me

     Gm                   Ebm7               Bb       C7
Say different and you'll have to fight with me

Eb                   Db     B          Bb
I wouldn't change a thing about the spring




Bb                 C13        Cm7(add4)     F7   F9(#5)
I wouldn't have it any other way

Bb             C13              Cm7        D7
However many trees may claw the air

    Gm             Ebm7             Bb     C7
Collapsing under what they have to bear

Eb                    Db      B       Bb       Bb7
I say Hooray for the darling buds of May




               Eb                     C7
        From where I'm standing the swaggering season

             Gm                   Bb7
        Has rules of its own and needs no reason

             Eb            Ebm        Bb      Bb7
        For working in the old fixed forms

            Eb              C7
        The nth revival of last year's fashions

        Gm                     Bb7
        Last year's decor and last year's passions

               Eb           C7                          Cm7(add4)    F     F9(#5)
        Looks right in the light of the function it performs




        Bb            C13           Cm7(add4)    F7    F9(#5)
It's a circus with an old familiar ring

Bb                  C13               Cm7      D7
Whenever it's come back to town I've found

         Gm                Ebm7             Bb      C7
That it suits me from the sky down to the ground

Eb              Ebm7           Bb     G7
I see it every time it comes around

   Eb              Db    B            Bb
I wouldn't hear a word against the spring
