          Em7                                  GThere's (320003@1)a river that parts the valley of this town

Em7                           GFollowing (320003@1)the road up to your father's farm

     Em7                          GYour (320003@1)rosy lungs were empty on the day that you were born

    Em7                                     GAnd (320003@1)no one thought you'd make it past the morning

Am (x02210@1)          GHo...........Hum (320003@1)

     Em7                
Your brother said your mother

                                   GWas (320003@1)a firefly you buried in the earth

    Em7
And every night, the fire light

                                 GWarms (320003@1)the tender bits of skin beneath your shirt

    Em7                               GThe (320003@1)climbing constellations move in semi-tones

    Em7                                                    GAnd (320003@1)set behind the county line in a melody of gravitation

Em7                              G7G7 G6G6 GG
Calling on the colours of the road!

Em7                               G7G7 G6G6 GG
Sleep amongst the mango trees and poison toads

  Em7                                    G7G7 G6G6 GG
A flood for every footprint, and every mile you forgot

Em7                                  G7G7 G6G6 GG
Though your hands were little, they always gave a lot

    The sanctity of soil

C (x32010@1)                     D (xx0232@1)   Wandering roots and living oils

C (x32010@1)                 D (xx0232@1)   Reunions underground

           C (x32010@1)                                     DSunlight (xx0232@1)surfacing, and all around, mountains like diaphragms...

                                    GThe (320003@1)rhythm of a landscape that is breathing
