Verse 1 chords:

D6High water carried her dGown stream

D6The cardinal points to hold you up

GOr a mountain where a shed self could

Verse 3

(use verse 1 chords)

Rolled like a felled tree with arms as useless as such

Death's panic came, a calmness stayed, you couldn't do much

Just watch the water chip away at the bank eroding

Cut and crumbling through the spate

Verse 4 chords:

D6It took a father, it coGvered his daughter

Took her D6down, down, Gdown

With the D6glass bottles, books, a tire

Collected Ghair tufts in the wD6eeds

Snagged and wrapped in the peats dammed and tGrapped D

Chorus chords

(repeat x3)

DYou said, is this the ceremony?

I don't know, well I don't Gmind

The way we all fall in and roll down

Pushed through the veins and trafficked Dbyes

And when your ears sit underhead is half submerged down Gbelow

Pooling all accounts of peace while passed beneath the canDopy glow

canoGpy glow, canoDpy glow, canGopy glow
