Green To Gold Chords

(ver. 1)
The Antlers
[Intro]
F*  C*  N.C.
F*  C*  N.C.
 
 
[Verse 1]
F                   C
So, summer's on the outs,
  G                     Dm
Cicadas swim around the house,
F                          C
Crickets clicking down the block,
Am                         G
We are on an early morning walk.
 
 
[Verse 2]
F                               C
No one's up, and no cars on the street,
G                          Dm
Hiding from an unrelenting heat,
F                             C
Sun is climbing out from underneath,
Am                             Dm  G
Lighting up and roasting tired leaves.
 
 
[Chorus]
F  C
G                    Dm
Green to gold, going green to gold,
F  C
Am                   G
Green to gold, going green to gold.
 
 
[Interlude]
F  C  G  Dm
F  C  Am  G
 
 
[Verse 3]
  F                                 C
A breeze blew in and autumn came to town,
G                                     Dm
Branches bare, the leaves rest on the ground,
F                                 C
All that summer worked to bud and bloom,
Am                       G
Only to be swept up by a broom.
 
 
[Verse 4]
   F                         C
An uninvited frost formed overnight,
   G                             Dm
By early afternoon, we're losing light,
F                                     C
Now they're saying two, three feet of snow,
    Am                            G
The reading dips to ten degrees below.
 
 
[Verse 5]
F                                      C
Morning's bright, the ancient ice withdraws,
  G                                      Dm
I take one step and the ground begins to thaw,
F                                C
Tiny grasses spring up 'round my shoe,
Am                                G
Eager bits of green start peeking through.
 
 
[Verse 6]
F                                     C
Seedlings turn to chutes and shoot up high,
G                                Dm
Thunderclouds hold hostage summer sky,
F                                    C
Concrete's hot with fire it can't contain,
Am                                   G
We sit in front of fans and wait for rain.
 
 
[Verse 7]
F                                   C
And just like that, summer's on the outs,
  G                     Dm
Cicadas swim around the house,
F                          C
Crickets clicking down the block,
      Am                         G
While we are on an early morning walk.
 
 
[Chorus]
F  C
G                    Dm
Green to gold, going green to gold,
F  C
Am                   G
Green to gold, going green to gold,
F  C
G                    Dm
Green to gold, going green to gold,
F  C
Am                   G
Green to gold, going green to gold.
 
 
[Interlude]
F  C  G  Dm
F  C  Am  G
F  C  G  Dm
F  C  Am  G
 
 
[Chorus]
F  C
G                    Dm
Green to gold, going green to gold,
F  C
Am                   G
Green to gold, going green to gold,
F  C
G                    Dm
Green to gold, going green to gold,
F  C
Am                   G
Green to gold, going green to gold.
 
 
[Outro]
F  C*
