Chords with lyrics

Verse:

  D MajorD    F#F#     G+G
We lay down in the grass
    D MajorD    F#F#      G+G
In our nest of sleeping bags
D MajorD     F#F#   G+G         A augmentedA A7A7
Breathing in the shallow canyon air
  D MajorD      F#F#   G+G
The water, forty five degrees
  D MajorD    F#F#     G+G
We wade out to the knees
  D MajorD      F#F#      G+G         A augmentedA A7A7
And soak to the sleeves in a semi aquatic prayer

Chorus:

   G+G      D MajorD     A augmentedA
Great state, what state am I in?
    D MajorD   F#F#    G+G
Compass roses bloom again
E minorEm     B minorBm   F#F#    B minorBm
Home of the water, Canada’s daughter
G+G             A augmentedA
Cradled in a crescent moon grin

   D MajorD    F# minorF#m    B minorBm    A augmentedA     G+G
Michigan and again and again and again and again
   D MajorD    F# minorF#m    B minorBm    A augmentedA     G+G
Michigan and again and again and again and again


Verse:

   D MajorD     F#F#   G+G
Soft shoulders of sand dunes
   D MajorD     F#F#    G+G
Porcupine cactus flowers bloom
    D MajorD      F#F#   G+G        A augmentedA A7A7
In the dust of the devil’s empty living room
   D MajorD     F#F#      G+G
Salt silts the flattened land
   D MajorD   F#F#      G+G
Time like a snake in the sand
D MajorD    F#F#  G+G          A augmentedA  A7A7
Powdered porcelain in a stranger’s hand


Chorus:

   G+G      D MajorD     A augmentedA
Great state, what state am I in?
    D MajorD   F#F#    G+G
Compass roses bloom again
E minorEm     B minorBm   F#F#    B minorBm
Home of the water, Canada’s daughter
G+G             A augmentedA
Cradled in a crescent moon grin

   D MajorD    F# minorF#m    B minorBm    A augmentedA     G+G
Michigan and again and again and again and again
   D MajorD    F# minorF#m    B minorBm    A augmentedA     G+G
Michigan and again and again and again and again

Bridge:

F#F#         B minorBm
Looking down to the high five
    D MajorD         A augmentedA     G+G
Grazing ground to hear the sound of a heavy sigh
F#F#             B minorBm
Home is where you left your heart behind
   D MajorD     A augmentedA     G+G
Even fortified fossils dissolve over time
   F#F#         B minorBm
When I came home, I went down to the lake
    D MajorD     A augmentedA       G+G
My dad told me he counts up the days
      F#F#           B minorBm
And when I packed my bags, coffee stains of jet lag
      D MajorD    A augmentedA     G+G     A augmentedA
There were conifers lining the driveway, whispering

D MajorD   F# minorF#m  B minorBm  A augmentedA   G+G
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay
D MajorD   F# minorF#m  B minorBm  A augmentedA   G+G   G+G (stop)
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay


Chorus:

   G+G      D MajorD     A augmentedA
Great state, what state am I in?
    D MajorD   F#F#    G+G
Compass roses bloom again
E minorEm     B minorBm   F#F#    B minorBm
Home of the water, Canada’s daughter
G+G             A augmentedA
Cradled in a crescent moon grin

   D MajorD    F# minorF#m    B minorBm    A augmentedA     G+G
Michigan and again and again and again and again
   D MajorD    F# minorF#m    B minorBm    A augmentedA     G+G
Michigan and again and again and again and again
