CAPO: 1st Fret
INTRO: Em  
I didn't want to burn like this, so close to the bone
No Cmuscle left to carry it, this Dblack bag of stones
It's a Cblack bag D  
N.C.        Em  
Through the August heat, the autumn rain and winter's face of blue
These Cseasons keep their spinning up, but Dthere's no sign of you
There is Cno sign D  
CHORUS:
And Cso I walk this Dverdant mile
Of GmemoG/F#ry with Cyou
The gentle arms of DEden
And the Emmountain Dget me Cthrough__D_
Well, EmRichard says the whippoorwill, taught him how to go
I Ctell him death is just a dream, but DI don't really know
It's Emeverything and nothing when the spirit cracks the sky
But Cflowers fold and go to seed and Dno one questions why
CNobody, oh Dno
CHORUS:
And Cso I walk this Dverdant mile
Of GmemoG/F#ry with Cyou
The gentle arms of DEden
And the Emraven Dget me Cthrough__D_
INSTRUMENTAL:    G     D     G    C    D  
I mEmiss you like I love the sound of blackbirds in the trees
I Csit alone and wish that maybe Done of you would visit me
But no Emmatter how much seed I hang, what prayer I call out
I Ccannot bring that bird in from the Dfield or make an angel 
CCome aroundD  
CHORUS:
And Cso I walk this Dverdant mile
Of GmemoG/F#ry with Cyou
The gentle arms of DEden
And the Emmountain Dget me Cthrough___
