Chords with lyrics
So, there wasn't already a tab for this gorgeous, gorgeous song and I know this one doesn't do it justice,
but it's just a little something to sing along to. There might be a few chords here and there that could be
replaced by something better, I just couldn't find whatever it was. Feel free to annotate!
Capo on whichever fret fits your voice. The vocals are pretty low.
A minorAm D MajorD
The brackish roots of river pine
G+G C majorC
Anchored in my curving spine
A minorAm E minorEm
Bend to the whims of wind's design
A minorAm D MajorD E minorEm
And I lay down at your side
A minorAm D MajorD
Above the brine of reds in clay
G+G C majorC
A augmentedA swollen angel oaks bouquet
C majorC A minorAm E minorEm
In the red-winged blackbird's eyes of grey
A minorAm D MajorD E minorEm
A augmentedA saltwater tear resides
C majorC D MajorD G+G
But the sand and the earthen parapet
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
Silts into This rivulet
G+G D MajorD A minorAm E minorEm
The bluffs and the banks will soon forget
A minorAm D MajorD E minorEm
A augmentedA single tear was cried
A minorAm D MajorD
And in this spawning ground it blooms
G+G C majorC
The nectar and the petal plumes
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
A augmentedA purple swallow now exhumed
A minorAm D MajorD E minorEm
From the river that has died
C majorC D MajorD G+G
The crimson of rinoculous
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
Gardenia and dianthus
G+G D MajorD A minorAm E minorEm
The bloodless ivory water-lotus
A minorAm D MajorD E minorEm
Sweetly opens wide
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Without a voice left to sing
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
With waterlogged and heavy wing
G+G D MajorD A minorAm E minorEm
With peaceful eyes unsuffering
A minorAm D MajorD E minorEm
A augmentedA pigeon floats in the tide
