ESimple (022100@1)backbeats seem to soothe me. If i could hold them i would let see,
ATake (x02220@1)some rest as if not wicked. And walk around enjoying silence.
   EA (022100@1)world away, elders gather. Speaking their tongue and hardly falter.
        AWith (x02220@1)words of bound, joy and grievance, Simple songs, work and penance.

              H
And so for goodness sake.

VERSE 2:
EWell (022100@1)down the road the deer are crossing, And the grass is greener where they're walking.
ARattling (x02220@1)beasts and heavy movements, Mark them now son before we lose them.
EBear (022100@1)your arms ever so wisely, Or burn them all if you have no need.
       AAnd (x02220@1)dress to kill but kill so kindly. A hollow heart's too weak and weary.

VERSE 3:
E (let ring)
A wise old friend recently told me: "An idle mind is the devils playpen".
A (let ring)
Mind the gaps and watch them closely. Spread the love but choose your friends wisely.
ELove (022100@1)yourself to love your family, And find the difference between wants and needs.
     ABe (x02220@1)sure to stop and count your blessings, Smell the roses and fight for something.
