I WILL REFER TO THEM BELOW AS (1) AND (2)
IT IS THE EASIEST WAY I COULD THINK TO DO IT
The intro is a frantically picked Abm for about 30 seconds,
then this happens:

b|-------------------5~~~~~|
g|-9--8--------11-8--6~~~~~|
d|-------6~~~~~------6~~~~~|
a|-7--6--6~~~~~9--6--4~~~~~|
e|-------4~~~~~------------|
Carry on frantically picking Cm for a while,
then two single massive strums of Abm,
and then...
...voice of wind, the air in the branches
Sounded like words, whispering a spell on me
Until I heard
Now I see shapes in the low light
The earth quakes in the twilight
I see flames in my calm life
Hear the wind's dark poem
(((frantic Abm picking with violent wind, if there is some nearby)))
You can see from above, the rocks sticking out of
the yard behind the house make stone constellations,
half-buried in the dusk, the unformed stories
coming to life while I sleep.
The breath moves branches saying words that I don't know,
a new poem, a song I sang in a dream.
The lights of town faint,
something is exhaling in the sound of traffic far away.
Something is happening. Wind's dark poem describes,
calligraphy of branches writes, stone constellation alive.
The house is built on a boulder, soil returns to the wind.
(1)
Bones will blow in pink light.
The distant sound is saying my name,
the wind is taking pieces.
Wind's dark poem is about the constantly roaring decay
The destruction of every day, and every morning's waking.
(((stop playing, sing against the gentle hum of silence)))
But even as spring is bringing blossoms back among leaves,
the cold wind blows when night falls,
and the bare branches bend.
(((gentle hum of silence becomes tidal wave of sound)))
(((end)))

Carry on frantically picking C
then two single massive strums of Abm,
and then...
...voice of [Abm]wind, the air in the [B]branches
Sounded like [E]words, whispering a [Abm]spell on me
Until I [E]heard
Now I see [Abm]shapes in the low light
The earth [B]quakes in the twilight
I see [C#m]flames in my calm life
Hear the wind's dark [E]poem

You can [Abm]see from above, the rocks sticking out of
the [B]yard behind the house make stone constellations,
[E] half-buried in the dusk, the unformed [Ebm]stories [Ebm7]
coming to [Abm]life while I sleep.
The breath moves branches saying [B]words that I don't know,
a new poem, [E] a song I sang in a dream.
The [Ebm]lights of town faint, [Ebm7]
something is ex[Abm]haling in the sound of traffic far away.
Something is [B]happening. Wind's dark poem describes,

The house is built on a [Abm]boulder, soil returns [B]to the wind.
