Let It Grow
{Intro}
[Am7 Bo7] :| (last time) [Bo7 Do7 Fo7 Bo7]
{Verse part 1}
[Am Bo7 Do7 Fo7 Bo7]
Morning comes, she follows the path to the river shore
[Am Bo7 Do7 Fo7 Bo7]
Lightly sung, her song is the latch on the morning’s door
[Am C]
See the sun, sparkle in the reeds
[Am C Bm D]
Silver beads, pass to the sea
{Verse part 2}
[D A7]
She comes from a town where they call her the wood cutter’s daughter
[A7 D]
She’s brown as the bank where she kneels down to gather her water
[D Bm / / /]
She bears it away with a love that the river has taught her
[Am / / / C / / / C / / / C D Emadd9]
Let it flow, let it flow, wide and clear
[Am Bo7 Do7 Fo7 Bo7]
Round and round, the cut of the plow in the furrowed fields
[Am Bo7 Do7 Fo7 Bo7]
Season’s round, the bushels of corn and the barley meal
[Am C]
Broken ground, open and beckoning
[Am C Bm D]
To the spring, black dirt live again
[D A7]
The plowman is broad as the back of the land he is sowing
[A7 D]
As he dances the circular track of the plow ever knowing
[D Bm / / /]
That the work of his days measures more than the planting and growing
[Am / / / C / / / C / / / C D Emadd9]
Let it grow, let it grow, greatly yield
{Chorus}
[Emadd9 B G Emadd9]
What shall we say, shall we call it by a name
[C G Bm7]
As well to count the angels dancing on a pin
[Emadd9 B G Emadd9]
Water bright as the sky from which it came
[D A]
And the name is on the earth that takes it in
[G F#m Em D ]
We will not speak, but stand inside the rain
[C G D Em Am/// //// C/// ////]
And listen to the thunder shout, "I am, I am, I am,
[C D Emadd9/// ////]
I am!"
{Jam Verse Parts 1 & 2}
[Am Bo7 Do7 Fo7 Bo7]
So it goes, we make what we made since the world began
[Am Bo7 Do7 Fo7 Bo7]
Nothing more, the love of the women, work of man
[Am C]
Seasons round, creatures great and small
[Am C Bm D]
Up and down, as we rise and fall
{Once}
[C Em7 D]
