Verse 1:
G
When a thing is wick, it has a life about it.
Am                            D
Maybe not a life like you and me.
     Am                  D                G      Em
But somewhere there's a secret streak of green inside it.
     Am               D              G
Now, come and let me show you what I mean.
G
When a thing is wick, it has a light around it.
Am                             D
Maybe not a light that you can see.
    Am          D                 G       Em
But hiding down below a spark's asleep inside it,
     Am              D                G
Just waiting for the right time to be seen.
     D
You clear away the dead parts,
      D
So the tender buds can form,
D              D7
Loosen up the earth and
         G         Em  D
Let the roots get warm,
                  G
Let the roots get warm.

Verse 2:
G
When a thing is wick, it has a way of knowing,
          Am                           D
When it's safe to grow again, you will see,
             Am       D           G          Em
When there's sun, and water sweet enough to feed it
        Am                   D                 G
It will climb up through the Earth, a pale new green
     D
You clear away the dead parts,
      D
So the tender buds can form,
D             D7
Loosen up the earth and
         G        Em D
Let the roots get warm,
                   E
Let the roots get warm.

Bridge:
Em              A7
Come a mild day, come a warm rain,
Em                  A
Come a snowdrop, a-comin' up!
Em           A7
Come a lily, come a lilac!
Em                    B                     E
Come to call, callin' all of us to come and see!

Verse 3:
A
When a thing is wick, and someone cares about it,
     Bm                                        E
And comes to work each day to work the earth below
        Bm       E                 A      Gbm
It will live, it will and you must never doubt it
        Bm                  E
For all through the darkest night time
     Bm              E
It’s waiting for the right time
       Bm       E             A Bm Dbm Asus4 A
When a thing is wick, it will grow.
