Reservoir
It’s midnight on the reservoir
Old bullfrog don’t croak no more
there’s a glow upon the hill
and everything’s unnaturally still
Is this the season of changes?
Someone’s gone, he’s gone away
(alternate line: someones song has gone away)
let them little fish sleep easier today
the fishermen are scared and they want to go
as the dragonflies are turnin’ into mosquitoes
Is this the season of changes?
So I said to my old friend Jim
casually I asked him
Jim have you learned to swim?
He said, man I just don’t know
but the water on that reservoir looks awfully cold
Is this the season of changes?
Is this the season of changes?
Is this the season of changes?

Intro: ebm F Gb Ab a few times
for the first two lines of each verse:

(bass line is something like this, all flats: e-e-g-e-g-e-g-a-b-a-g-e)
Then last line of each verse:
ebm F Gb Ab bbm Ab Gb ebm (not that sure about the bbm through ebm part)
Is this the season of change…
ebm F Gb Ab
Jam in eb minor
