The bells will ring church steeple’s catching fire   And if you promise spring then I know you are a liar     Cause in the spring tender grasses won’t burn easily    The thrushes sing still my lover won’t return to me     Wild parsnips they still scar my lungs while thistles will burn my feet      And if you join our Chorus you’ll never fear anymore            So here comes the Chorus we will meet on a fatal shore                          Souverian souverian the elder Souverian souverian the free   Souverian souverian the felled heart So very young so very young were we                                      Birds will sing still my lover won’t return to me You promise spring still my lover won’t return to me    Wild parsnips scar my lungs and the thistles are burning my feet        So here comes the Chorus you will never fear anymore    If you join our Chorus we will meet on a fatal shore                             G?(for this section I finger pick the bottom three strings   playing eight counts and then the bottom string open for eight counts alternating.   Feel free to find your own method!) Under the elders the older get younger The younger get over over their elders And under the elders pretend that you’re older now Under the elders the older get younger                  The younger get over over the elders                    Under the elders bending your branches down                                  We were so very young still my lover won’t return to me Thrushes sing still my lover won’t return to me      Wild parsnips they still scar my lungs while thistles still burn my feet
