C/Bb                                    Am6 
A stick, a stone, it's the end of the road 
                    Fm6/Ab 
It's the rest of a stump, it's a little alone 
C6/G              Gm7          C7            Am6/F# 
It's a sliver of glass, it is life, it's the sun 
                            Fm7              C9/G 
It is night, it is death, it's a trap, it's a gun 
                  C7/G                 D7/F# 
The oak when it blooms, a fox in the brush 
                Fm6                    C9/G 
The knot in the wood, the song of a thrush 
                  Gm7     C7       D7/F# 
The will of the wind, a cliff, a fall 
             Fm7          Fm6        C9/G 
A scratch, a lump, it is nothing at all 
                       C7/G            C7         Am6/F# 
It's the wind blowing free, it's the end of the slope 
                     Fm6                        C9/G 
It's a beam, it's a void, it's a hunch, it's a hope
C/G                 C7/G                    Am6/F# 
And the river bank talks of the waters of March 
                     Fm6                       C9/G 
It's the end of the strain, it's the joy in your heart 

Verse 

C/G             C/Bb                      Am6 
The foot, the ground, the flesh and the bone 
                Fm6/Ab               C9/G 
The beat of the road, a slingshot's stone 
           C/Bb             D7/F# 
A fish, a flash, a silvery glow 
            Fm6                C9/G 
A fight, a bet, the range of a bow 
                 C/Bb                Am6 
The bed of the well, the end of the line 
                  Fm6/Ab                     C9/G 
The dismay in the face, it's a loss, it's a find 
            C/Bb              Am6 
A spear, a spike, a point, a nail 
           Fm6/Ab               C/G 
A drip, a drop, the end of the tale 
                 Gm9/C                      D7/F# 
A truckload of bricks in the soft morning light 
                Bb7/F 
The shot of a gun in the dead of the night 
           C/Bb              Am6 
A mile, a must, a thrust, a bump, 
                    Fm6/Ab                        C9/G 
It's a girl, it's a rhyme, it's a cold, it's the mumps 
                Gm7          C9      D/C 
The plan of the house, the body in bed 
                      Fm/C                         C6/G 
And the car that got stuck, it's the mud, it's the mud 
             Gm/C       C7      D7/C 
A float, a drift, a flight, a wing 
           Fm9/C                  C 
A hawk, a quail, the promise of spring 

C                     C7/G                  Am6/F# 
And the river bank talks of the waters of March

It's the promise of life, it's the joy in your heart

It's a thorn in your hand and a cut in your toe 
            C/Bb            Am6 
A point, a grain, a bee, a bite 
            Fm6/Ab                      C9/G 
A blink, a buzzard, a sudden stroke of night

In the distance the shelves rode three shadows of blue
