Hawks heel into the wind from the south-west as it blows
[D] [G] [D] [G] [D]
Creeks crackin’, drippin’ and dribblin’ as your clean clear waters flow
[E] [F#] [G] [A] [B] [D] [G] [D]
Meadowlarks out on the fence whistlin’ up the sun

You do something special to me when your first spring wind blows ‘round
