David Francey - Bitterroot
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:   C    F    C    G(2x) C  
In the Bitterroot, the Fbiggest sky
The Cvalley wide, the Gmountain high
The Choly girl whose Fsmile was light
The Ccrescent moon, the Gbird in flight
The chorus rising Chigher and Ghigher
CBread and water, Fblood and fire
CBread and water, Gblood and fire
CBread and water, Fblood and fire
CBread and water, Gblood and Cfire
And so they sang their Fsongs of praise
In CRevelation and GJudgment Day
CWords of faith in Ftheir beliefs
In the Cheight of joy and the Gdepths of grief
Jesu, Joy of CMan's DeGsire
CBread and water, Fblood and fire
CBread and water, Gblood and fire
CBread and water, Fblood and fire
CBread and water, Gblood and Cfire
That Gwas his life, his Cevery day
GTook in every Cword they'd say
GTruth being turned in Cevery way
And he Fsaw the cracks in the feet of Gclay
INSTRUMENTAL:   C    F    C    G    C    F    C     G    C   G  
              C  F  C  G  C  F  C  G  C
And so he sang aFlong with them
His Cheart as empty Gas the wind
He Cnever even Fheard the call
Of Cmercy offered Gup to all
Just the chorus in the Ctelephone Gwires
CBread and water, Fblood and fire
CBread and water, Gblood and fire
CBread and water, Fblood and fire
CBread and water, Gblood and Cfire
Bread and water, Fblood and fire
CBread and water, Gblood and fire
CBread and water, Fblood and fire
CBread and water, Gblood and Cfire
