E5    G5    D5    
{intro} 
  

      E5           G5 
Three hits to the heart son 
         D5          
And it's poetry in motion 
          E5                 G5 
One could send you down the river 
          D5                    
Three's a strange way to be delivered 
  

          G5                    D5 
Would you trade your words for freedom 
         G5             
That's a barter for a blind man 
      E5           G5 
Three hits to the heart son 
         D5          
And it's poetry in motion 
  

E5     G5    D5       
{5-bar solo} 
  

        E5               G5 
Are you leveed like a treasure 
     D5                  
Only words can help me find you 
         E5               G5 
And this world's a fickle measure 
       D5            
I will painfully remind you 
  

       G5                D5 
From a wise man to your red hand 
        G5               
You lay covered in our best sins 
      E5           G5 
Three hits to the heart son 
         D5              
And it's poetry in motion  {extra bar} 
  

E5    G5    D5        E5    G5    D5       
{9-bar solo} 
  

       E5                G5 
Well I dream you constant stranger 
          D5                     
With your best bloods and your anger 
        E5            G5 
You say mother do you claim me 
     D5             
My beloved do you blame me 
  

         G5                 D5 
Well the first two might release you 
        G5                       
But the last one sings in me son  {drum beats} 
  

      E5           G5 
Three hits to the heart son 
         D5          
And it's poetry in motion 
  

      E5           G5 
Three hits to the heart son  {slowing} 
        D5                     E5 
And the last one sings in me
