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.

[A]One season [D]I was born
[E]fell down like [D]an acorn
[A]I am the [F#m]only tree
[D]and everyb[E]ody leav[A]es
I've got to [D]get away from [A]you[D]
[A] [D] [A] [D]
[A]Bud growing [D]up at me
[E]resentful [D]face I see
[A]a harsh light [F#m]seems to damn you
[D]is it beca[E]use I am yo[A]u?
I've got to g[D]et away from [A]you[D]
[A]i need to fi[D]nd a love that's [A]true[D]
[A]Loose leaf lay on the [D]bed
[E]hair falling a[D]round her head
[A]I watched her [F#m]from the shore
[D]I can't do a[E]ny more[A]
I've got to [D]get away from [A]you[D]
[A]I'll come and [D]visit you in the [A]zoo[D]
(dissonant verse!)
[A]We go on a[D]rguing
[E]no one can [D]say a thing
[A]set down your [F#m]key and trumpet
[D]go have a [E]dream and hump it[A]
I've got to [D]get away from [A]you[D]
[A]you don't know [D]what you put me [A]through[D]
G C D C G..Em...Am... C G C...G E
aahhhh....
[A]Prized fighter [D]with bruised pride
[E]a fuse blew [D]when you tried
[A]to fix the [F#m]worn out wire
[D]and set the [E]house on fire[A]
I've got to [D]get away from [A]you[D]
[A]if only [D]for a day or t[A]wo[D]
[A]you don't know [D]what you put me [A]through[D]
[A]I'll come and [D]visit you in the [A]zoo[D]
[A]I need to fi[D]nd a love that's [A]true[D]
[A]I want to g[D]et away with y[A]ou[D]
