The Orchard

	  		
verse 1 
 Db           Bbm               Gb            Ab 
Last night we went out to the orchard in the snow 
 Db                Bbm              Gb         Ab 
There in the constellations, a big dipper far below 
    Db                  Bbm                  Gb           Ab 
We walked through the blackness, felt the endless space around 
        Bbm                Fm                 Ab              Fm 
And you bent down on your knee and picked an apple from the ground 


verse 2 
 Db           Bbm              Gb             Ab 
Out past the forest where the Saint Lawrence lies 
     Db             Bbm       Gb                Ab 
We heard the cargo ships go pushing through the ice 
      Db            Bbm               Gb               Ab 
You turned when we heard them, your breath hung in the air 
               Bbm                   Fm               Ab                    Fm 
And you said, "Just 'cause we can't see them doesn't mean that they're not there 


     Gb       Fm       Gb          Fm 
But I'm not afraid of what I can't see 
 Gb           Fm            Gb       Fm   Db 
Don't need a reason, don't need to belie--eve" 



verse 3 
      Db          Bbm         Gb               Ab 
We climbed up a ladder that leaned against the hay 
    Db            Bbm             Gb         Ab 
And out in the distance saw the highway far away 
       Db            Bbm               Gb            Ab 
The headlights all sparkled, blending into the sky above 
          Bbm             Fm         Ab                   Fm 
Where the moon was coming up, and I knew that's all there was 


    Gb        Fm   Gb           Fm 
But I'm not afraid of all that space 
         Gb          Fm       Gb            Fm  Db 
'Cause everything I need is written on your fa--ace 



verse 4 
 Db         Bbm          Gb                  Ab 
Over by the barn in the dark, we heard the geese 
 Db               Bbm            Gb           Ab 
They carried our boots past the naked little trees 
      Db            Bbm         Gb                    Ab 
We smelled the cold bark in the air and the sweetness of 
     Bbm           Fm             Gb           Ab      Db 
The fruit on the ground, and the wood smoke...        above
