E5[introG]D  C(9)  
Three Ehits to the Gheart son
And it's Dpoetry in C(9)motion
One could Esend you down the Griver
Three's a Dstrange way to be deC(9)livered
Would you Gtrade your words for Dfreedom
That's a Gbarter for a C(9)blind man
Three Ehits to the Gheart son
And it's Dpoetry in C(9)motion
     E      G     D     C(9)  C(9)
[5-bar solo]
Are you Eleveed like a trGeasure
Only Dwords can help me C(9)find you
And this Eworld's a fickle Gmeasure
I will Dpainfully reC(9)mind you
From a Gwise man to your Dred hand
You lay Gcovered in our C(9)best sins
Three Ehits to the Gheart son
                  D      C(9)  C(9)
And it's poetry in motion  [extra bar]
    E      G     D       C(9)      E      G     D  C(9)   C(9)  
[9-bar solo]
Well I E5dream you constant Gstranger
With your Dbest bloods and your C(9)anger
You say E5mother do you Gclaim me
My beDloved do you C(9)blame me
Well the Gfirst two might reDlease you
                         G       C(9)  C(9)
But the last one sings in me son  [drum beats]
Three Ehits to the Gheart son
And it's Dpoetry in C(9)motion
Three Ehits to the Gheart son  [slowing]
                         D      C(9)  E.
And the last one sings in me
