Song
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 !!)
One season I was born
fell down like an acorn
I am the only tree
and everybody leaves
I've got to get away from you
Bud growing up at me
resentful face I see
a harsh light seems to damn you
is it because I am you?
I've got to get away from you
i need to find a love that's true
Loose leaf lay on the bed
hair falling around her head
I watched her from the shore
I can't do any more
I've got to get away from you
I'll come and visit you in the zoo
(dissonant verse!)
We go on arguing
no one can say a thing
set down your key and trumpet
go have a dream and hump it
I've got to get away from you
you don't know what you put me through
G C D C G..Em...Am... C G C...G E
aahhhh....
Prized fighter with bruised pride
a fuse blew when you tried
to fix the worn out wire
and set the house on fire
I've got to get away from you
if only for a day or two
you don't know what you put me through
I'll come and visit you in the zoo
I need to find a love that's true
I want to get away with you
