E5    G    D    
{intro} 
  

      E           G 
Three hits to the heart son 
         D          
And it's poetry in motion 
          E                 G 
One could send you down the river 
          D                    
Three's a strange way to be delivered 
  

          G                    D 
Would you trade your words for freedom 
         G             
That's a barter for a blind man 
      E           G 
Three hits to the heart son 
         D          
And it's poetry in motion 
  

E     G    D       
{5-bar solo} 
  

        E               G 
Are you leveed like a treasure 
     D                  
Only words can help me find you 
         E               G 
And this world's a fickle measure 
       D            
I will painfully remind you 
  

       G                D 
From a wise man to your red hand 
        G               
You lay covered in our best sins 
      E           G 
Three hits to the heart son 
         D              
And it's poetry in motion  {extra bar} 
  

E    G    D        E    G    D       
{9-bar solo} 
  

       E5                G 
Well I dream you constant stranger 
          D                     
With your best bloods and your anger 
        E5            G 
You say mother do you claim me 
     D             
My beloved do you blame me 
  

         G                 D 
Well the first two might release you 
        G                       
But the last one sings in me son  {drum beats} 
  

      E           G 
Three hits to the heart son 
         D          
And it's poetry in motion 
  

      E           G 
Three hits to the heart son  {slowing} 
        D                     E 
And the last one sings in me
