The Orchard

 Db           Bbm               Gb            Ab
Last night we went out to the orchard in the snow
 Db                Bbm              Gb         Ab
There in the constellations, a big dipper far below
    Db                  Bbm                  Gb           Ab
We walked through the blackness, felt the endless space around
        Bbm                Fm                 Ab              Fm
And you bent down on your knee and picked an apple from the ground


[Verse 2]
 Db           Bbm              Gb             Ab
Out past the forest where the Saint Lawrence lies
     Db             Bbm       Gb                Ab
We heard the cargo ships go pushing through the ice
      Db            Bbm               Gb               Ab
You turned when we heard them, your breath hung in the air
               Bbm                   Fm               Ab                    Fm
And you said, "Just 'cause we can't see them doesn't mean that they're not there


[Refrain 1]
     Gb       Fm       Gb          Fm
But I'm not afraid of what I can't see
 Gb           Fm            Gb       Fm   Db
Don't need a reason, don't need to belie--eve"


[Verse 3]
      Db          Bbm         Gb               Ab
We climbed up a ladder that leaned against the hay
    Db            Bbm             Gb         Ab
And out in the distance saw the highway far away
       Db            Bbm               Gb            Ab
The headlights all sparkled, blending into the sky above
          Bbm             Fm         Ab                   Fm
Where the moon was coming up, and I knew that's all there was


[Refrain 2]
    Gb        Fm   Gb           Fm
But I'm not afraid of all that space
         Gb          Fm       Gb            Fm  Db
'Cause everything I need is written on your fa--ace


[Verse 4]
 Db         Bbm          Gb                  Ab
Over by the barn in the dark, we heard the geese
 Db               Bbm            Gb           Ab
They carried our boots past the naked little trees
      Db            Bbm         Gb                    Ab
We smelled the cold bark in the air and the sweetness of
     Bbm           Fm             Gb           Ab      Db
The fruit on the ground, and the wood smoke...        above
