[Intro]
G C D G C D G C D G C D
[Verse]
There's an Gold horse in the pasture,
And Cjust like me he's Dseen his better Gdays.
Well he Gsniffs the air this mornin',
And his Ceyes take on an Dold familiar Gglaze.
He Gkicks his heels, Dthrows his head,
An' Clooks right at me like I understood.
That it's Gspringtime in the country,
And the Dpasture grass is greenin' up real Ggood.
[Verse]
There's a Gbullfrog in the bog behind my Chouse,
And he'll be Dmakin' such a Gsound.
GAlong late in the afternoon,
CRight up 'till the Devening sun goes Gdown.
And he's happy to be livin' in a Cworld,
Of fiddleheads and rotten Cwood.
And it's Gspringtime in the country,
And the Dpasture grass is greenin' up real Ggood.
[Chorus]
Greenin' up real Cgood, lookin' mighty Dfine,
Every little Gseed, comin' right Con time.
Up across the Gfield, up into the Dwood,
It's greenin' up real Ggood.
[Interlude]
C D G C D G C D G C D G
[Verse]
Well I Gwork all day in the garden,
This Ctime of year there's Djust too much to Gdo.
But there's a Gfishin' pole in the corner,
And it's Cstrung up with a Dline as fine as Gdew.
Tomorrow Gthere'll be Dlots of time,
To Cdo the million things I know I Gshould.
But it's Gspringtime in the country,
And the Dpasture grass is greenin' up real Ggood.
[Chorus]
Greenin' up real Cgood, lookin' mighty Dfine,
Every little Gweed, every little Cvine.
Where the open Gfield, gives way to Dthe wood,
It's greenin' up real Ggood.
[Chorus]
It's greenin' up real Cgood, lookin' mighty Dfine,
Every little Gseed, comin' right Con time.
Up across the Gfield, up into the Dwood,
It's greenin' up real Ggood.

[Intro]

G C D G C D G C D G C D

[Verse]

There's an old horse in the pasture,

C D G

And just like me he's seen his better days.

Well he sniffs the air this mornin',

C D G

And his eyes take on an old familiar glaze.

G D

He kicks his heels, throws his head,

An' looks right at me like I understood.

That it's springtime in the country,

D G

And the pasture grass is greenin' up real good.

[Verse]

G C

There's a bullfrog in the bog behind my house,

D G

And he'll be makin' such a sound.

Along late in the afternoon,

C D G

Right up 'till the evening sun goes down.

And he's happy to be livin' in a world,

Of fiddleheads and rotten wood.

And it's springtime in the country,

D G

And the pasture grass is greenin' up real good.

[Chorus]

C D

Greenin' up real good, lookin' mighty fine,

G C

Every little seed, comin' right on time.

G D

Up across the field, up into the wood,

It's greenin' up real good.

[Interlude]

C D G C D G C D G C D G

[Verse]

Well I work all day in the garden,

C D G

This time of year there's just too much to do.

But there's a fishin' pole in the corner,

C D G

And it's strung up with a line as fine as dew.

G D

Tomorrow there'll be lots of time,

C G

To do the million things I know I should.

But it's springtime in the country,

D G

And the pasture grass is greenin' up real good.

[Chorus]

C D

Greenin' up real good, lookin' mighty fine,

G C

Every little weed, every little vine.

G D

Where the open field, gives way to the wood,

It's greenin' up real good.

[Chorus]

C D

It's greenin' up real good, lookin' mighty fine,

G C

Every little seed, comin' right on time.

G D

Up across the field, up into the wood,

It's greenin' up real good.

End
