   G(I)
 I     		I			           II		II    
Morning comes, she follows the path to the river shore.
 I		I				      II	 II
Like the sun, her song is the latch on the morning's door.
 I	     C(I)
See the sun sparkle in the reeds;
 I	      C(I)	 	  Bm9 7  D(I)
Silver beads fasten to the seeds.
 D(I)  		                    D(I)		      A(I)	 A(I)
She comes from the town where she's known as the woodcutter's daughter,
 A 7				  A7       		    D(I)        D(I)
She's brown as the bank where she kneels down to gather her water,
 D(I)			   D(I)                    Bm9 7  
She bears it away with the love that the river has taught her.
 I  	      I   	   C(I)	  	  III
Let it flow, let it flow, wide and clean.
 I		        I   				  II
'Round and 'round, the cut of the plough and the furrowed field
 I		      I				    II
Seasons 'round, the bushels of corn and the barley meal
 I	       C(I)
Broken ground, open and beckoning
 I	       C(I)		      Bm9 7   D(I)
To the stream, black dirt live again!
 D(I)			      D(I)			 A(I)	  A(I)
The ploughman is broad as the back of the land that he's sowing
 A 7		 	  A 7			   D(I)	    D(I)	
As he dances the circular track of his plough ever knowing
 D(I)				   D(I)				   Bm9 7
That the work of his days measures more than just the planting and growing.
 I	     I   	  II    	III	
Let it grow, let it grow, let me heal.

	-REFRAIN-
III   	       B            D (2 fr.)  A (2 fr.) Em9
What shall we say, shall we call it by a name?
C (2 fr.)	             G(I)   Bm9
As well to count the angels dancing on a pin.
III   B	            D (2 fr.)    A (2 fr.)    Em9
Water bright as the sky from which it came
D (2 fr.)			              A (2 fr.)
Its name is on the earth and takes it in
   G(I)		      IV	       Em9	D (2 fr.)
It will not speak but stand inside the rain.
C (2 fr.)  G(I)   Bm9    Em9
Listen to the thunder shout
I     I	    C(I)
I Am, I Am, I Am
  III
I Am.

	-INSTRUMENTAL (follows chords of first verse once through)
			*then*
I	       I	                	 II		II
So it goes, we make what we make since the world began,
I		      I			     II		
Nothing more than the love of woman, and the work of man.
I		C(I)
Seasons 'round, creatures great and small,
I	     C (2 fr.)		   Bm9 7   D(I)
Up and down, as they rise and fall
D(I)		C    G (2 fr.)    D(III)(play twice as long as D(I),
Rise and fall.				then continue the pattern of 
					the last three chords for a
					while until)...

I  I  I  II (repeat three measures of I, one measure II another while
until) ...


V   VI   VII, V   VI   VII, V   VI   VII   VII (jam on this for awhile, then)


VIII    A (2 fr.)    IX    G (2 fr.)  (repeat 4X)

III	III

	-REFRAIN-

The final jam is just like the first, only it starts from the I  I  I  II 
part, ending with a slow fade on the III chord.

Sorry for making you read and print this twice.
