Tracy Grammer - The Verdant Mile


CAPO: 1st Fret


INTRO: E minorEm


I didn't want to burn like this, so close to the bone
  C majorC               D MajorD
No muscle left to carry it, this black bag of stones
    C majorC     D MajorD
It's a black bag

N.C.    E minorEm
Through the August heat, the autumn rain and winter's face of blue
   C majorC                  D MajorD
These seasons keep their spinning up, but there's no sign of you
     C majorC    D MajorD
There is no sign


CHORUS:
  C majorC       D MajorD
And so I walk this verdant mile
  G+G  G/F#  C majorC
Of memory with you
          D MajorD
The gentle arms of Eden
    E minorEm    D MajorD   C majorC    D MajorD
And the mountain get me through___


   E minorEm
Well, Richard says the whippoorwill, taught him how to go
 C majorC                  D MajorD
I tell him death is just a dream, but I don't really know
   E minorEm
It's everything and nothing when the spirit cracks the sky
  C majorC                D MajorD
But flowers fold and go to seed and no one questions why
C majorC     D MajorD
Nobody, oh no


CHORUS:
  C majorC       D MajorD
And so I walk this verdant mile
  G+G  G/F#  C majorC
Of memory with you
          D MajorD
The gentle arms of Eden
    E minorEm  D MajorD   C majorC    D MajorD
And the raven get me through___

INSTRUMENTAL: G+G  D MajorD  G+G  C majorC D MajorD


  E minorEm
I miss you like I love the sound of blackbirds in the trees
 C majorC               D MajorD
I sit alone and wish that maybe one of you would visit me
    E minorEm
But no matter how much seed I hang, what prayer I call out
 C majorC                 D MajorD
I cannot bring that bird in from the field or make an angel
C majorC       D MajorD
Come around


CHORUS:
  C majorC       D MajorD
And so I walk this verdant mile
  G+G  G/F#  C majorC
Of memory with you
          D MajorD
The gentle arms of Eden
    E minorEm    D MajorD   C majorC
And the mountain get me through___


CHORUS:
          D MajorD
And so I walk this verdant mile
  G+G  G/F#  C majorC
Of memory with you
          D MajorD
The gentle arms of Eden
    E minorEm    D MajorD   C majorC    D MajorD  C majorC  D MajorD  G-D-G-D-Em
And the mountain get me through______
