i love this song. wish i wrote it.
 hard to sing, though,
 unless you've got pitch-perfect 3 part harmony...
i LOVE the dissonant verses , which i used to drive my ex-landlady
crazy listening to at top volume 15 years ago (but it served her
right,as she'd make me nuts listening to opera at 1000 decibles...)

i think this is right, but maggie tunes her guitar down to,
i think, Eb (if you want to play along w/the recording).

 corrections, suggestions, etc. are welcome.

One Season

      -The Roches (Maggie)

(guitar tuned down to Eb !!)

A          D
One season I was born
E              D
fell down like an acorn
A        F#m
I am the only tree
D         E       A
and everybody leaves


            D             A    D
I've got to get away from you

A    D     A    D

A           D
Bud growing up at me
E         D
resentful face I see
A             F#m
a harsh light seems to damn you
D         E          A
is it because I am you?


             D            A   D
I've got to get away from you
A           D                A   D
i need to find a love that's true

A                     D
Loose leaf lay on the bed
E             D
hair falling around her head
A             F#m
I watched her from the shore
D           E      A
I can't do any more

            D             A   D
I've got to get away from you
A             D                A   D
I'll come and visit you in the zoo

(dissonant verse!)
A         D
We go on arguing
E          D
no one can say a thing
A             F#m
set down your key and trumpet
D         E                A
go have a dream and hump it

            D             A    D
I've got to get away from you
A              D               A      D
you don't know what you put me through


G  C  D C  G..Em...Am... C  G  C...G     E
aahhhh....


A              D
Prized fighter with bruised pride
E           D
a fuse blew when you tried
A          F#m
to fix the worn out wire
D           E            A
and set the house on fire

            D             A    D
I've got to get away from you
A       D             A    D
if only for a day or two

A              D               A      D
you don't know what you put me through

A             D                A   D
I'll come and visit you in the zoo

A           D                A   D
I need to find a love that's true

A           D             A   D
I want  to get away with you
