Verse:

For Richard Swift

For John and Bill

For every gift lifted far before its will
          Am
Judee and Smith

For Berman too

I’ve met the myth hanging heavy over you
            Bm
I loved you long

You rose to go
             Am
Beneath you, songs, perfect angels in the snow
           Bm
So time to stage

Forget reserve
            Am
The type of great coronation you deserve

Bridge:
          C         Dadd4
I’m going out for a weekend
          C                  Dadd4
I’m gonna borrow a Martin or Gibson
            C                     Dadd4
With Either/Or and The Hex for my Bookends
         C                      Dadd4
Carrying every text that you’ve given

Chorus:
          G          Am
I’m gonna swim for a week in
      G                  Am
Warm American Water with dear friends
         G                    Am
Swimming high on a lea in an eden
        G                            Am
Running all of the leads you’ve been leaving

Am

Verse:
        Am
I’m overmatched (for Arthur Russell)

I’m half as wise (Duncan and Curtis)

If this is flat, brother I apologize

(Jimi and David, for Nick and Otis)
        Am
No one alone (For Bell and Buckley)

Can leave the cave (Marvin and Adam)

And all you’ve loaned

won’t be kept inside a grave

(for Arthur Russell, for Arthur Russell)

Chorus:
          G          Am
I’m gonna swim for a week in
      G                  Am
Warm American Water with dear friends
       G                      Am
Just intending that I would delight them
         G                   Am
Swimming high on a lea in an eden

I’m gonna swim for a week in

Warm American Water with dear friends
         G                    Am
Swimming high on a lea in an eden
        G                            Am
Running all of the leads you’ve been leaving
            G                   Am
And in your rarified air I feel sunblind
            G                       Am
I’m looking up at you there high in my mind
     G                        Am
Only way that I made it for a long time
        G                           C        Dadd4
But I’m loud and alive, singing you all night

C Dadd4
