I I II II
Morning comes, she follows the path to the river shore.
I I II II
Like the sun, her song is the latch on the morning's door.
I (I)
See the sun sparkle in the reeds;
I (I) 7 (I)
Silver beads fasten to the seeds.
She comes from the town where she's known as the woodcutter's daughter,
7 (I) (I)
She's brown as the bank where she kneels down to gather her water,
(I) (I) 7
She bears it away with the love that the river has taught her.
I I C(I) III
Let it flow, let it flow, wide and clean.
I I II
'Round and 'round, the cut of the plough and the furrowed field
I I II
Seasons 'round, the bushels of corn and the barley meal
I (I)
Broken ground, open and beckoning
I (I) 7 (I)
To the stream, black dirt live again!
The ploughman is broad as the back of the land that he's sowing
7 7 (I) (I)
As he dances the circular track of his plough ever knowing
(I) (I) 7
That the work of his days measures more than just the planting and growing.
I I II III
Let it grow, let it grow, let me heal.
III D (2 fr.) A (2 fr.)
What shall we say, shall we call it by a name?
As well to count the angels dancing on a pin.
III D (2 fr.) A (2 fr.)
Water bright as the sky from which it came
Its name is on the earth and takes it in
(I) IV D (2 fr.)
It will not speak but stand inside the rain.
Listen to the thunder shout
I I C(I)
I , I , I
III
I .
follows chords of first verse once through)
*then*
I I II II
So it goes, we make what we make since the world began,
I I II
Nothing more than the love of woman, and the work of man.
I (I)
Seasons 'round, creatures great and small,
I C (2 fr.) 7 (I)
Up and down, as they rise and fall
(I) G (2 fr.) (III)(play twice as long as (I),
Rise and fall. then continue the pattern of
the last three chords for a
while until)...
I I I II (repeat three measures of I, one measure II another while
until) ...
V VI VII, V VI VII, V VI VII VII (jam on this for awhile, then)
VIII A (2 fr.) IX G (2 fr.) (repeat 4X)
III III
The final jam is just like the first, only it starts from the I I I II
part, ending with a slow fade on the III chord.
