[Intro]
Am7 Ddim
[Verse]
Am Bdim7 Ddim7 Fdim7 Gdim7
Morning comes, she follows the path to the river shore
Am Bdim7
Lightly sung, her song is the latch on the morning’s door
Am C
See the sun, sparkle in the reeds
Am C Bm D
Silver beads, pass to the sea
[Bridge]
D A7
She comes from a town where they call her the wood cutter’s daughter
A7 D
She’s brown as the bank where she kneels down to gather her water
D Bm
She bears it away with a love that the river has taught her
Am C Em/F#
Let it flow, let it flow, wide and clear
[Verse]
Am Bdim7 Ddim7 Fdim7 Gdim7
Round and round, the cut of the plow in the furrowed fields
Am Bdim7
Season’s round, the bushels of corn and the barley meal
Am C
Broken ground, open and beckoning
Am C Bm D
To the spring, black dirt live again
[Bridge]
D A7
The plowman is broad as the back of the land he is sowing
A7 D
As he dances the circular track of the plow ever knowing
D Bm
That the work of his days measures more than the planting and growing
Am Am C Em/F#
Let it grow, let it grow, greatly yield
[Chorus]
Em/F# B G Em/F#
What shall we say, shall we call it by a name
C G Bm7
As well to count the angels dancing on a pin
Em/F# B G Em/F#
Water bright as the sky from which it came
D A
And the name is on the earth that takes it in
C G Em/F#
We will not speak, but stand inside the rain
C G D Em Am C Em/F#
And listen to the thunder shout, "I am, I am, I am, I am"
[verse jam]
[Verse]
Am Bdim7 Ddim7 Fdim7 Gdim7
So it goes, we make what we made since the world began
Am Bdim7
Nothing more, the love of the women, work of man
Am C
Seasons round, creatures great and small
Am C Bm D
Up and down, as we rise and fall
D Fm E
Jam on Am7
Jam on Em7
[Chorus]
Em/F# B G Em/F#
What shall we say, shall we call it by a name
C G Bm7
As well to count the angels dancing on a pin
Em/F# B G Em/F#
Water bright as the sky from which it came
D A
And the name is on the earth that takes it in
C G Em/F#
We will not speak, but stand inside the rain
C G D Em Am C Em/F#
And listen to the thunder shout, "I am, I am, I am, I am"
