Verse 3: (use verse 1 chords)
Rolled like a felled tree with arms as useless as such
Death's panic came, a calmness stayed, you couldn't do much
Just watch the water chip away at the bank eroding
Cut and crumbling through the spate

         D6 (xx04xx@1)            
With the glass bottles, books, a tire
          G (320003@1)                D6Collected (xx04xx@1)hair tufts in the weeds
