Guitar chords with lyrics
- Difficulty: Beginner 👶
🎸 Verse 1:
Em7 G
Somewhere down south of here
Em7 G C2
There's a woman with an armload of grass
D Em7
Weaving a basket
D Em* A7sus4 C2
That'll float the Rio Grande
G C2
She'll send her baby on it
G C2 A7sus4
The river running wild and fast
D G
To curry the favor
D G C A7sus4
Of whatever Pharoah owns the land

🎸 Chorus:
A7sus4*
A seed of an idea
(Bass G - B - A)
Like mustard greens
(Bass G - B - A)
Like newborn fingers
Curled and half asleep
G
Awake
Em7
🎸 Verse 2:
Em7 G
From her mouth, a vineyard
Em7 G C2
Of swears and hallelujahs entwined
D Em7
A new wine is vinted
D Em* A7sus4 C2
A blend of sweet commandment
G C2
Oh, to hell with the semantics
G C2 A7sus4
The camel and the cable confide
D G
The eye of a needle
D G C2 A7sus4
Is tall enough to stand inside
🎸 Chorus:
A7sus4*
A seed of an idea
(Bass G - B - A)
Like mustard greens
(Bass G - B - A)
Like newborn fingers
Curled and half asleep
G
Awake with a thunder
C2 G
From underneath
C2 G
Stretch up and reach through
C2 G
The hardest part of me
🎸 Verse 3:
Em7
May all our tinfoil idols
G C2 D
Lay crumpled on the ground
D G
And our pre-fab Olympus
D G C2
Divided by the thousand
G C2
Oh, maybe I'm naive for thinking
G C2 D
That a mountain so stubborn can move
D Em7
But if I'm a mountain moving
Em7 G
I think maybe you can be, too
