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
