Verse 1

   F#m11F#m11
To be,
  E MajorE
A augmentedA bee, a moth.
F#m11F#m11                                     E MajorE
Four wings spread for the soft last touch
         A augmentedA
Of glory sun,
                  E MajorE                  A augmentedA
Remembering blood plums and lips and lemons ?
                      E MajorE
One hundred different suns
                       D MajorD
In a hundred different heavens.
FF               A augmentedA
Spied from a rowboat ?

Chorus

D#mD#m     G+G         G# minorG#m
Stroke, nought is spoken,
  A augmentedA        D#mD#m          G+G        E MajorE
Before you know it, the spell is broken,
D MajorD                E MajorE
You might wonder where you are,
A augmentedA        D#mD#m    G+G    F#m11F#m11
Floating on the reservoir.


Verse 2

          E MajorE
Oh I have counted the notes
   F#m11F#m11
We landed here not many years ago
                        E MajorE               A augmentedA
And it was not a pretty song that we composed:
                E MajorE
La, la, la, the early bird he knows,
                  A augmentedA
You hang from the cherry bough
                   D MajorD             FF
When you're lichen yourself, and leave ?


Chorus

    A augmentedA         D#mD#m      G+G         F# minorF#m
The cold cold scent of stone and mulch,
A augmentedA     D#mD#m           G+G          E MajorE
Great stone wall to stave the rush,
   D MajorD                      E MajorE
To think that peace might be too much,
A augmentedA       D#mD#m      C majorC   BB
Waiting for that giant

Verse 3

    F#m11F#m11       E MajorE
The lake... the fir-fringed lake ?
F#m11F#m11
Placid and ample, birded, breezed and dappled
            E MajorE
Through the mountain break,
                     A augmentedA
Through the mountain break,
     E MajorE               A augmentedA        D MajorD    FF
A augmentedA moment take, a moment, a moment...


Bridge

A augmentedA
You might wonder where you are,
D#mD#m
Perched up on the reservoir,
G+G
Adolf in the white hotel,
A augmentedA
All this time we've been in hell,
A augmentedA         D#mD#m    G+G         F# minorF#m
You might wonder where you are,
A augmentedA        D#mD#m      G+G    F# minorF#m
Perched above the reservoir,
D MajorD           E MajorE
Luis of the lake retire,


Outro

  A augmentedA         D#mD#m     D MajorD       A augmentedA
Before they set the lake on fire
  A augmentedA         E MajorE       D MajorD       A augmentedA
Before they set the lake on fire
  A augmentedA         E MajorE       C majorC    BB  F#m11F#m11
Before they set the lake on fire

F# minorF#m  E MajorE (repeat to fade)
