{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]
{Jam I - D Mixolydian} [D/// :|]
{Jam II} [Emadd9 :|]
{Jam II vamp begins (other players can harmonize a 5th above/below)} [E F# G E F# G E F# G A B :|]
{Outro} Em
{Build} [G/// //// Emadd9/// ////]
{Chorus}
{Jam II Vamp}
{Outro - skip the final 2 bars G and go str8 to Emadd9}
