Verse 1 chords:
A#6 D#
High water carried her down stream
A#6 D#
She watched the water's living things
A#6 D#
She thought, it's not a mound with six planks of wood
A#6
The cardinal points to hold you up
G*
Or a mountain where a shed self could
Verse 2 chords: (repeat x2)
A#6 D#
Feed the roots and honor the tongues of the animals
A#6 D#
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:
A#6 D#
It took a father, it covered his daughter
A#6 D#
Took her down, down, down
A#6
With the glass bottles, books, a tire
D# A#6
Collected hair tufts in the weeds
D# A#
Snagged and wrapped in the peats dammed and trapped
Chorus Chords: (repeat x3)
A#
You said, is this the ceremony?
D#
I don't know, well I don't mind
The way we all fall in and roll down
A#
Pushed through the veins and trafficked byes
D#
And when your ears sit underhead is half submerged down below
A#
Pooling all accounts of peace while passed beneath the canopy glow
D# A# D#
canopy glow, canopy glow, canopy glow
