[Verse]
Bb7                                     Am7 
■   A stick a stone it's the end of the road
                                       G7   
It's the rest of a stump it's a little alone
                 Gb7                       Fmaj7
It's a sliver of glass it is life it's the sun  
      C7          Bb7                      C7 
It is night it is death it's a trap it's a gun
                C7                       
The oak when it blooms a fox in the brush
              C7                       
A knot in the wood the song of a thrush
                               D7  
The wood of the wind a cliff a fall
                                  C7 
A scratch a lump it is nothing at all
                      Bb                       Am7  
It's the wind blowing free it's the end of the slope
                                            C7  
It's a beam it's a void it's a hunch it's a hope
                  Gb7                    F7   
And the riverbank talks of the waters of March
                                                C7   
It's the end of all strain it's the joy in your heart


[Chorus]
             C7                           
The foot the ground the flesh and the bone
                C7                      
The beat of the road a slingshot's stone
         C7                  
A fish a flash a silvery glow
                             C7 
A fight a bet the range of a bow
                                   Am7 
The bed of the well the end of the line
                  Am7                         
The dismay in the face it's a loss it's a find
          Gb7             F7  
A spear a spike a point a nail
         Bb7                 C7  
A drip a drop the end of the tale


[Verse]
                                          D7   
A truckload of bricks in the soft morning light
                                     C7   
The shot of a gun in the dead of the night
                         Am  
A mile a must a thrust a bump
       Am7                                    G7   
It's a girl it's a rhyme it's a cold it's the mumps
C7              Gm7   C7          D7 
The plan of the house the body in bed
                     F7                          C7 
And the car that got stuck it's the mud it's the mud
       Bb       C7           
Afloat adrift a flight a wing
  G7               Ab         G7    
A hawk a quail the promise of spring
                  Gb7                    C7   
And the riverbank talks of the waters of March
                    Bb7                              
It's the end of all strain it's the joy in your heart


[Chorus]
Db   Bb7 Am7 G7 C7 Bb Am7 Am               C7                  D  
■  A ■   ■   ■  ■  ■  ■   ■  snake a stick ■  it is John it is Joe
                               C7             
It's a thorn in your hand or a cut on your toe
Cm7                         
A point a grain a bee a bite
                                     C7   
A blink a buzzard a sudden stroke of night
        Gm7      C7      D7  
A pin a needle a sting a pain
                   Ab     C7   
A snail a riddle a wasp a stain
              Cm7                         
A pass in the mountains a horse and a mule
                                                  C7  
In the distance the shelves rode three shadows of blue
                  Cm7                    D7   
And the riverbank talks of the waters of March
                                               C7   
It's the promise of life in your heart in your heart


[Verse]
  C7                           Fmaj7
A stick a stone the end of the road 
              Bb7     B7       Cmaj7
The rest of a stump a lonesome road 
            G7    C7         Fmaj7
A sliver of glass a life the sun  
          Bb7                  Bb7 Cmaj7
A knife a death the end of the run ■    
        Gm7                    C7        Gb   
And the riverbank talks of the waters of March
         Fm                            
It's the end of all strain it's the joy


[Chorus]
        C7   
In your heart


[Solo]
Gb7 C7 Bb7 C7 Fmaj7 Bb7 C7 F7
■   ■  ■   ■  ■     ■   ■  ■ 


[Chorus]
Bb7 C7 F7 Bb7 C7 Gb7 C7 F7
■   ■  ■  ■   ■  ■   ■  ■ 
Bb7 C7 Bb7 C7 F7 C7 Bb7 C7
■   ■  ■   ■  ■  ■  ■   ■ 


[Outro]
F7 C7 Bb7 C7 Bb C7 Gb7 C7
■  ■  ■   ■  ■  ■  ■   ■
