Gordon Lightfoot - Love And Maple Syrup
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[INTRO:] Em Baug Em7 Baug Em G6 C#dim7 Cmaj7 Em
[VERSE 1:]
D
Love and maple syrup go together
C B7
Like the sticky winds of winter when they meet
Em
When lonely lovers come to rest
D
Beneath the trees they do their best
C B7 G
But still they can't be free
[CHORUS:]
D Am
Looking for the world to be
Em G
Anything but what they see
D Am
Longing to be understood
Em
By the heart that shapes the wood
[INTERLUDE:] Em D Am Em
[VERSE 2:]
D
If you go into the forest, gaze up through the leaves
C B7 Em
And see the sky that's almost wild
You can learn to understand
D
What makes the forest greet the man
C B7 Em
Like a mother's only child
[VERSE 3:]
D
In the north when winter's claw relaxes now
C B7 Em
To keep the law of nature in control
People come and stand in line
D
To rob the forest of her wine
C B7 G
But they don't feel the cold
[CHORUS:]
D Am
Looking for the world to be
Em G
Anything but what they see
D Am
Longing to be understood
Em
By the heart that shapes the wood
[INSTRUMENTAL:] G D Am Em G D Am Em D Am Em
Do do do do, etc., etc.
[VERSE 4:]
D
Love and maple syrup shine like embers warm
C B7 Em
Like thoughts divine, they tell us it is spring
Love and maple syrup stir
D
The thoughts of people into words
C B7 Em
The songs that they can sing
[VERSE 5:]
D
Love and maple syrup go together

Like the sticky winds of winter when they meet
When lonely lovers come to rest

Beneath the trees they do their best

But still they can't be free
