Verse 1 chords:
C6 F
High water carried her down stream
C6 F
She watched the water's living things
C6 F
She thought, it's not a mound with six planks of wood
C6
The cardinal points to hold you up
G*
Or a mountain where a shed self could
Verse 2 chords: (repeat x2)
C6 F
Feed the roots and honor the tongues of the animals
C6 F
Drift into the moss and bloat where the peat bog pulls
Interlude: play intro tab x3 (or just play chords)
Verse 3: (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:
C6 F
It took a father, it covered his daughter
C6 F
Took her down, down, down
C6
With the glass bottles, books, a tire
F C6
Collected hair tufts in the weeds
F C
Snagged and wrapped in the peats dammed and trapped
Chorus Chords: (repeat x3)
C
You said, is this the ceremony?
F
I don't know, well I don't mind
The way we all fall in and roll down
C
Pushed through the veins and trafficked byes
F
And when your ears sit underhead is half submerged down below
C
Pooling all accounts of peace while passed beneath the canopy glow
F C F
canopy glow, canopy glow, canopy glow
