Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Red oak  sugar,
 And Korean  dogwood and Korean dogwood
 Vibes turn  to rubbed rum,
 It by mission  moonlight kangas on that hillside
 You are  my life,
 And you baffle  me some like vanilla's maple
 Inca  cornflower
 You’re my baby’s  blue eyes
 And when you're gown  dissolves in a prayer
 You’ll hear a sound
 That rings true and fair
 Black king  lightning,
 The dawn of orange  blossoms and orange blossoms
 My friend  Keegan,
 Drawing endless  love songs, endless love songs
 Calm  breath, sweet being,
 Show me what  you’re seeing, show me what you’re seeing
 And though right  and loud and proud
 Every little word
 It still ain't heard
 Strange prayers  looming,
 Over all  our brothers, over all our brothers
 Prison  life served
 But Navajo  Gospel is a rope thrown helpful
Oh...
 But for sure  all that we’ve made
 Will be swallowed by the Earth
 For it’s got no worth...

[D]   [C]   [G]

Red [D]oak sug[C]ar,
And Kor[G]ean dogwood and Korean dogwood
Vibes t[D]urn to rubbed r[C]um,
It by m[G]ission moonlight kangas on that hillside
You [D]are my l[C]ife,
And you b[G]affle me some like vanilla's maple
Inc[D]a cornfl[C]ower
You’re my b[G]aby’s blue eyes

And when you're g[C]own dissolves in a pr[G]ayer
You’ll hear a s[Am]ound   [C]
That rings true and f[G]air

Black k[D]ing lightn[C]ing,
The dawn of [G]orange blossoms and orange blossoms
My fr[D]iend Keeg[C]an,
Drawing [G]endless love songs, endless love songs
C[D]alm breath, sweet b[C]eing,
Show me wh[G]at you’re seeing, show me what you’re seeing

And though r[C]ight and loud and pr[G]oud
Every little w[Am]ord   [C]
It still ain't h[G]eard

Strange pr[D]ayers loom[C]ing,
Over [G]all our brothers, over all our brothers
Pris[D]on life s[C]erved
But Nav[G]ajo Gospel is a rope thrown helpful
[D]Oh...[C]    [G]

But for s[C]ure all that we’ve m[G]ade
Will be swallowed by the E[Am]arth   [C]
For it’s got no w[G]orth...
