Josh Ritter - Lark

Alternate between D, Dsus2 and Dsus4 as you feel fit for some of the D chords...

Capo   5th

D
The golden ratio the shell
D                                A
The stairs ascending round themselves
    D     A               G           A
The trees rustle as if to kneel and listen
       D                          G           A          D
To the heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat

D
The oxygen in priestly green
D                              A
The answers dressed in labyrinthine
    D           A                  G           A
The telescopes atop the mountains of ecstatic vision listening
       D                          G           A          D
To the heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat

|:D           A :|
|:Hey, hey hey  :|


G      D          G     D
I am assured, yes I am assured yes
Bm    A                      G          D
I am assured that peace will come to me
G            D      G           D
A peace that can yes surpass the speed yes
Bm    A            G       D
Of my understanding and my need

D
The meteoric warp and went
D                                     A
In counterbalance to the spark ever ascending
    D             A                 G               A
The arrow shoots forward though it moves through repetition
       D                           G           A          D
To the heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat

|:D           A :|
|:Hey, hey hey  :|

D
What is it that drives the driven snow now?
    D      A               G             A
Upon whose temples with I rest my weary hopes now?
    D                  A                   G             A
The rain distills down steeples fills the ears of lonely church mice
       D                              G           A          D
With the heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat

|:D           A :|
|:Hey, hey hey  :|

Repeat Chorus, end on G
