This is the chords of Toast To The New Year by Carbon Leaf on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.
[Verse 1]
F C F C
In the richest of seasons, we\’re drenched to the bone.
C F C F G
While the light is still bright, we bring the year to a close.
G F C
Sometimes we\’re standing there naked,
C F C F C
frozen in our own past, and winter\’s ritual colors.
C F G
She rings out her last
G F C F C
And in the richest of seasons, in these colors we bathe,
C F C F G
we greet the onset of winter and what we know she will take.
[Chorus]
G C G C G
And so you make resolutions, if it\’s all just the same
G C G C D
If a wound is a wound, why not just cut myself upon change?
[Verse 2]
F C F C
In black and light, the year is formally closed
C F C F G
Yet still the darkest of seasons shimmer silver and gold
G F C F C
So let\’s dress up like penguins, we\’ll huddle en masse
C F C F G
We will ring in the new year, we\’ll throw a curse to the last
[Chorus 2]
G C G C G
And so we make resolutions, if it\’s all just the same
G C G C D
If a wound is a wound, why not just cut myself upon change?
D C G C G
And so a toast to the New Year, and farewell to the last
G C G C D
May we dream ourselves forward, frozen wind at our backs
[Solo]
Em / G / Em / G / Em / G / D
[Chorus 3]
D C G C G
And so a toast to the New Year, and farewell to the last
G C G C D
May we dream ourselves forward, frozen wind at our backs
D C G C G
Another toast to the New Year, may we spring back to life
G C G C D
When the colors start shifting in the burgeoning light
D C G C G
May we spring back to life… may we spring back to life
G C G C D
When the colors start shifting in the burgeoning light
[Outro]
F C F G
In black and white, the year is formally closed.
