G
[Verse]
D
There's a junked out truck stuck in the mud
Em C
Down in the valley where the low fields flood
G D Em C
Every spring when the river jumps its banks
[Verse]
G D
A few stubborn leaves clinging to the bough
Em C
By the wing or wheel, the whole deal's gone south
G D Em C
Only ones left, got no place else to go
[Chorus]
D Em
Everything in ruin now
C G
Ruin now, ruin now
Am C
Everything in ruin now
D G
Soon to be renewed
[Verse]
D
All is still in the chilly night
Em C
Save, one lone cricket fiddling for his life
G D Em C
Sawing off a shivery waltz before the frost
[Verse]
G D
And it's all gone to seed, brown and spent
Em C
And I'm a-wondering where all the innocence went
G D Em C
Will it come back like a redwing blackbird's song
[Chorus]
D Em
Everything in ruin now
C G
Ruin now, ruin now
Am C
Everything in ruin now
D G
Soon to be renewed
[Instrumental]
D Em C G
Am C D G C G C
[Verse]
G D
Frost on windows, filigreed
Em C
And I could use a little wildcard up my sleeve
G D Em C
Just in case Old Man Winter calls my bluff
[Verse]
G D
Oh, it smells like snow, the sky's hearse black
Em C
Full moon cloudy as a cataract
G D Em C
But all I got to do, is make it through these next few months
[Chorus]
D Em
Everything in ruin now
C G
Ruin now, ruin now
Am C
Everything in ruin now
D G
Soon to be renewed
[Chorus]
D Em
Everything in ruin now
C G
Ruin now, ruin now
Am C
Everything in ruin now
D G
Soon to be renewed
