I I II II
Morning comes, she follows the path to the river shore.
I I II II
Like the sun, her song is the latch on the morning's door.
I С*
See the sun sparkle in the reeds;
Silver beads f
С*
asten to the s
eeds.
She comes from
the town wher
e she's known
as the woodcut
ter's daughter
,
She's brown as
the bank wher
e she kneels d
own to gather
her water,
She bears it a
way with the l
*
ove that the r
iver has taugh
t her.
I I С* III
Let it flow, let it flow, wide and clean.
I I II
'Round and 'round, the cut of the plough and the furrowed field
I I II
Seasons 'round, the bushels of corn and the barley meal
I С*
Broken ground, open and beckoning
To the stream,
С*
black dirt li
ve again!
The ploughman
is broad as th
e back of the
land that he's
sowing
As he dances t
he circular tr
ack of his plo
ugh ever knowi
ng
That the work
of his days me
asures more th
an just the pl
anting and gro
wing.
I I II III
Let it grow, let it grow, let me heal.
[Refrain]
What shall we
say, shall we
call it by a n
ame?
As well to cou
nt the angels
dancing on a p
in.
Water bright a
s the sky from
which it came
Its name is on
the earth and
takes it in
It will not sp
eak but stand
inside the rai
n.
Listen to the
thunder shout
I I С*
I AM, I AM, I AM
III
I AM.
-INSTRUMENTAL (follows chords of first verse once through)
*then*
I I II II
So it goes, we make what we make since the world began,
I I II
Nothing more than the love of woman, and the work of man.
I С*
Seasons 'round, creatures great and small,
Up and down, a
**
s they rise an
d fall
D* C*** G** D*** (play twice as long as D* ,
Rise and fall. then continue the pattern of
the last three chords for a
while until)...
I I I II (repeat three measures of I, one measure II another while
until) ...
V VI VII, V VI VII, V VI VII VII (jam on this for awhile, then)
VIII ** IX ** (repeat 4X)
III III
[Refrain]
The final jam is just like the first, only it starts from the I I I II
part, ending with a slow fade on the III chord.
Sorry for making you read and print this twice.
