Am6
Stick, a stone, it's the end of the road
Fm C6
It's the rest of a stump, it's a little alone
F#5m7 F7M
It's a sliver of glass, it is life, it's the sun
Fm6 C6(9)
It night, it is death, it's a trap, it's a gun
C4 C7 F#m7(b5)
The oak when it blooms, a fox in the brush
Fm6 C6(9)
A knot in the wood, the song of a thrush
C4 C7F#m7(b5)
The wood of the wind, a cliff, a fall
Fm6 C6(9)
A scratch, a lump, it is nothing at all
C4 C7 F#m7(b5)
It's the wind blowing free, it's the end of the slope
Fm6 C6(9)
It's a beam it's a void, it's a hunch, it's a hope
F#7(b5) F7M
And the river bank talks, of the waters of March
Bb7(13) C6(9)
It's the end of the strain the joy in your heart
C
The foot, the ground, the flesh
Am6 Fm C6
And the bone the beat of the road, a slingshot's stone
C4 C7F#m7(b5)
A fish, a flash, a silvery glow
Fm6 C6(9)
A fight, a bet the fange of a bow
C Am6
The bed of the well, the end of the line
Fm C6(9)
The dismay in the face, it's a loss, it's a find
C Am6
A spear, a spike, a point, a nail
Fm C6(9)
A drip, a drop, the end of the tale
C Am6
A truckload of bricks in the soft morning light
Fm C6(9)
The sound of a shot in the dead of the night
C4 C7 F#m7(b5)
A mile, a must, a thrust, a bump, it's a girl
Fm6 C6(9)
It's a rhyme, it's a cold, it's the mumps
C4 C7 F#m7(b5)
The plan of the house, the body in bed
Fm6 C6(9)
And the car that got stuck, it's the mud, it's the mud
C Am6
A float, a drift, a flight, a wing, a hawk
Fm C6(9)
A quail, the promise of spring
C4 C7 F#m7(b5)
And the river bank talks of the waters of March
Fm6 C6(9)
It's the promise of life, it's the joy in your heart

C4 C7 F#m7(b5)
A snake, a stick, it is John, it is Joe
Fm6 C6(9)
It's a thorn in your hand and a cut in your toe
C4 C7 F#m7(b5)
A point, a grain, a bee, a bite, a blink
Fm6 C6(9)
A buzzard, a sudden stroke of night
C Am6
A pin, a needle, a sting, a pain
Fm C6(9)
A snail, a riddle, a wasp, a stain
C4 C7 F#m7(b5)
A pass in the mountains, a horse and a mule, in the distance
Fm6 C6(9)
The shelves rode three shadows of blue
C4 C7 F#m7(b5)
And the river talks of the waters of March
Fm6 C6(9)
It's the promise of life in your heart
C Am6
A stick, a stone, the end of the road
The rest of a stump, a lonesome road
C Am6
A silver of glass, a life, the sun a knife
Fm C6(9)
A death, the end of the run
F#7(b5) F7M
And the river bank talks of the waters of March
Bb7(13) C6(9)
It's the end of all strain, it's the joy in your heart
