Verse 1 chords:
A6 D
High water carried her down stream
A6 D
She watched the water's living things
A6 D
She thought, it's not a mound with six planks of wood
A6
The cardinal points to hold you up
G*
Or a mountain where a shed self could
Verse 2 chords: (repeat x2)
A6 D
Feed the roots and honor the tongues of the animals
A6 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:
A6 D
It took a father, it covered his daughter
A6 D
Took her down, down, down
A6
With the glass bottles, books, a tire
D A6
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
