E5

E5                     C5         E5
follow you down to the red oak tree
       G5                          A5       E5
as the air moves thick through the hollow reeds
        A5                        E5       C5
i will wait for you there until someone comes
   A5                E5
to carry me, carry me down

    E5                C5        E5
see i have not i have not grown cold
       G5                       A5        E5
i have stole from men who have stole from those
            A5                    E5      C5
with their arms so thin and their skin so old
            A5                       E5
but you are young, you are young, you are young

     B5                        C5       G5
then somebody laughs like it?s all just for hell
              B5                          C5       G5
as though we could not be saved from the depth of the well
         A5                     C5           E5
but the cloth that i make is a cloth you can sell
   C5                D5
to pay for the gossamer seed

E5                       C5      E5
names get carved in the red oak tree
       G5                     A5        E5
of the ones who stay and the ones who leave
       A5                            C5         E5
i will wait for you there with these cindered bones
   A5        D5         E5
so follow me follow me down
A5        D5         E5
follow me follow me down
A5        D5         E5
follow me follow me down
A5        D5         E5
follow me follow me down
