[Verse 1]
Dsus2Up in Pocahontas, near the Cranberry Glades
BmAin’t got bars, Gnor the charge Ato call her anDsus2yways
BmMy mind’s a mile a Gminute, my Athoughts they bark like Dsus2hounds
but I’m Bmfocused on my Gbreathing in the Auniversal Dsus2sound
[Verse 2]
Dsus2I think about my darling girl, sleeping all alone
I Bmpray the stars will Gshoot her all the Awishes she can Dsus2hold
On the Bmday that I Greturn, I Aaim to lay her Dsus2down
But Bmright now, I’m Gfocused on the Auniversal Dsus2sound

[Verse 3]
Dsus2I think about tobacco juice and Mason jars of shine
I Bmthink about the Gvices I’ve let Atake me over Dsus2time
I Bmrecall when I was a Gbaby, I didn’t Aneed nothing Dsus2around
But a Bmlittle bitty Grattler and the Auniversal Dsus2sound
[Bridge]
I Gclose my Dsus2eyes
It was Gall so Dsus2clear
It was Gall right Dsus2then
It was all right Ahere
[Verse 4]
Dsus2I focus on my breathin’ in the universal sound
I Bmlet it take me Gover from the Atoenails to the Dsus2crown
‘Til the Bmbody that I’m Gin, ‘til they Aput me in the Dsus2ground
And I Bmreturn to the Gchorus of the Auniversal Dsus2sound
[Instrumental]
G Dsus2 G Dsus2 G Dsus2 A
[Verse 5]
Dsus2I’ve been up on the mountain, and I’ve seen his wondrous grace
I’ve Bmsat there on a Gbar stool, and I’ve Alooked him in the Dsus2face
He Bmseemed a little Ghaggard, but it Adid not slow him Dsus2down
He was Bmhumming to the Gneon of the Auniversal Dsus2sound
