[Verse 1]
BGeside a singin' Cmountain streaGm where the willow grew
Where the Csilver leaf of Gmaple sparkled A7in the mornin' Ddew
I Gbraided twigs of Cwillow, made a Gstring of buckeye beads
But Cflesh and blood needs Gflesh and blood Cand you're the one I Gneed
CFlesh and blood needs Gflesh and blood Cand you're the one I Gneed
[Verse 2]
I Gleaned against the Cbark of birch and I Gbreathed the honeydew
I Csaw a northbound Gflock of geese against a A7sky of baby Dblue
BeGside the lily padCs I carved a whGistle from a reed
MothCer Nature's quite a laGdy, but you're tChe one I needG  
CFlesh and blood needs Gflesh and blood Cand you're the one I Gneed
[Interlude]
  C    Gx4
[Verse 3]
A Gcardinal sang Cjust for me and GI thanked him for the song
Then the sCun went slowly Gdown the west aA7nd I had to moDve along
ThGese were some of Cthe things on which my Gmind and spirit feed
But Cflesh and blood needs Gflesh and blood Cbut you're the one I Gneed
CFlesh and blood needs Gflesh and blood Cand you're the one I Gneed
[Verse 4]
So, Gwhen the day was Cended I was stiGll not satisfied
For I Cknew everything I Gtouched would wA7ither away and Ddie
And Glove is all that Cwill remain and Ggrow from all these seeds
MothCer's Nature's quite a Glady, but you'rCe the one I Gneed
CFlesh and blood needs Gflesh and blood Cand you're the one I Gneed

Flesh And Blood

by Johnny Cash

Lyrics & chords · Original key

[Verse 1]

G C G

Beside a singin' mountain stream where the willow grew

C G A7 D

Where the silver leaf of maple sparkled in the mornin' dew

G C G

I braided twigs of willow, made a string of buckeye beads

C G C G

But flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need

C G C G

Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need

[Verse 2]

G C G

I leaned against the bark of birch and I breathed the honeydew

C G A7 D

I saw a northbound flock of geese against a sky of baby blue

G C G

Beside the lily pads I carved a whistle from a reed

C G C G

Mother Nature's quite a lady, but you're the one I need

C G C G

Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need

[Interlude]

C G

[Verse 3]

G C G

A cardinal sang just for me and I thanked him for the song

C G A7 D

Then the sun went slowly down the west and I had to move along

G C G

These were some of the things on which my mind and spirit feed

C G C G

But flesh and blood needs flesh and blood but you're the one I need

C G C G

Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need

[Verse 4]

G C G

So, when the day was ended I was still not satisfied

C G A7 D

For I knew everything I touched would wither away and die

G C G

And love is all that will remain and grow from all these seeds

C G C G

Mother's Nature's quite a lady, but you're the one I need

C G C G

Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need
