VERSE
Dbmaj7       B13         Dbmaj7
Once I was a sentimental thing,
Dbmaj7          B13      Dbmaj7
Threw my heart away each spring,
Bm7             Amaj7  Ab6          Fmaj7/A
Now a spring romance   hasn't got a chance
Ebm7              Dbmaj7   Bbm9
Promised my first dance to winter,
Ebm9            Ab7      Dbmaj7  Bdim
All I've got to show’s a splinter
Ebm7   Bdim   Eb9    Ab13
for my little fling!
 
CHORUS
Dbmaj7      B9       Dbmaj7 B9
Spring this year has got me feeling
Dbmaj7 Db6        Gb6   Ab7      Ab6   Abdim
like a horse that never left the post,
Abdim Bbm6      A6           Ab6          Eb9
I     lie in my room staring up at the ceiling,
Ebm9              Ab9             Dbmaj7 Bmaj7
Spring can really hang you up the most!
 
CHORUS
Dbmaj7    B9   Dbmaj7         B9
Morning’s kiss wakes trees and flowers,
Dbmaj7 Db6      Ebm7    Ab7     Ab6
And to them I'd like to drink a toast,
Abdim Bbm6        A6           Ab6          Eb9
I     walk in the park just to kill lonely hours,
Ebm9              Ab9             Dbmaj7
Spring can really hang you up the most!
 
BRIDGE
B6       Ab6        B6       Ab6
All afternoon those birds twitter twit,
B6         Ab6            B6           Ab6
I know the tune, "this is love, this is it!"
Dbm7         Gbmaj7 Dbm7       Gbmaj7
Heard it before and I know the score,
Gm7      Am7          Bbm7        Eb7
And I've decided that spring is a bore!
 
REFRAIN
Abm7        Gbmaj7  Dbmaj7        B9
Love seemed sure a ‘round the new year,
Dbmaj7   Db6    Ebm7    Ab7    Ab6    Abdim
Now it's April, love is just a ghost,
Abdim  Bb9        A6    Ab6            Eb7
Spring arrived on time, only what became of you, dear?
Ebm9              Ab9             Ab6  Abdim
Spring can really hang you up the most!
Ebm9              Ab9             Dbmaj7 Bmaj7
Spring can really hang you up the most!
 
CHORUS
Dbmaj7    B9            Dbmaj7 B9
Spring is here, there’s no      mistaking
Dbmaj7 Db6      Gb6        Ab7      Ab6   Abdim
Robins building nests from coast to coast;
Abdim    Bbm6      A6           Ab6          Eb9
My heart tries to sing so they won’t hear it breaking,
Ebm9              Ab9             Dbmaj7 Bmaj7
Spring can really hang you up the most!
 
CHORUS
Dbmaj7  B9       Dbmaj7  B9
College boys are writing sonnets,
Dbmaj7  Db6   Gb6     Ab7       Ab6    Abdim
In the tender passion they're engrossed,
Abdim   Bbm6   A6              Ab6          Eb9
But I'm on the shelf with last years Easter bonnets,
Ebm9              Ab9             Emaj7
Spring can really hang you up the most!
 
BRIDGE
B6       Ab6        B6       Ab6
Love came my way, I hope it would last,
B6         Ab6            B6           Ab6
We had our day, now that's all in the past!
Dbm7         Gbmaj7 Dbm7      Gbmaj7
Spring came along a season of sun,
Gm7      Am7                 Bbm7          Dbdim
Full of sweet   promise but something went wrong!
 
REFRAIN
Dbmaj7  B9       Dbmaj7 B9
Doctors once prescribed a tonic,
Dbmaj7  Db6 Gb6       Ab7     Ab6    Abdim
"sulfur and molasses" was the dose,
Abdim  Bbm6   A6           Ab6          Eb9
Didn't help a bit, my condition must be chronic,
Ebm9              Ab9             Ab6    Abdim
Spring can really hang you up the most!
 
OUTRO
Gb6 Dbmaj7     Gb6     Dbmaj7
All alone, the party's over,
Cm7b5   F#dim  Db6            Eb13
Old man winter was a gracious host,
Eb13     Ebm7     B9          Fm7              Bb9
But when you keep praying for snow to hide the clover
Ebm9              Dmaj7           Dbmaj7
Spring can really hang you up the most!
