Verse 1 chords:
G6 C
High water carried her down stream
G6 C
She watched the water's living things
G6 C
She thought, it's not a mound with six planks of wood
G6
The cardinal points to hold you up
G*
Or a mountain where a shed self could
Verse 2 chords: (repeat x2)
G6 C
Feed the roots and honor the tongues of the animals
G6 C
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:
G6 C
It took a father, it covered his daughter
G6 C
Took her down, down, down
G6
With the glass bottles, books, a tire
C G6
Collected hair tufts in the weeds
C G
Snagged and wrapped in the peats dammed and trapped
Chorus Chords: (repeat x3)
G
You said, is this the ceremony?
C
I don't know, well I don't mind
The way we all fall in and roll down
G
Pushed through the veins and trafficked byes
C
And when your ears sit underhead is half submerged down below
G
Pooling all accounts of peace while passed beneath the canopy glow
C G C
canopy glow, canopy glow, canopy glow
