 Verse 1 chords:
High  water carried her down  stream
She  watched the water's living  things
She  thought, it's not a mound  with six planks of wood
The  cardinal points to hold you up
Or  a mountain where a shed self could
 Verse 2 chords: (repeat x2)
Feed  the roots and honor the tongues  of the animals
Drift  into the moss and bloat  where the peat bog pulls
 play intro tab x3 (or just play chords)
 (use verse 1 chords)
 Rolled like a felled tree with arms as useless as such
 Death's panic came, a calmness stayed, you couldn't do much
 Just watch the water chip away at the bank eroding
 Cut and crumbling through the spate
 Verse 4 chords:
It  took a father, it covered  his daughter
 Took her down,  down, down
 With the glass  bottles, books, a tire
 Collected hair  tufts in the weeds
 Snagged and wrapped in the peats dammed and trapped
 (repeat x3)
You  said, is this the ceremony?
 I don't know, well I don't mind
 The way we all fall in and roll down
 Pushed through the veins and trafficked byes
 And when your ears sit underhead is half submerged down below
 Pooling all accounts of peace while passed beneath the canopy  glow
 canopy  glow, canopy  glow, canopy  glow
