Em7 G
There's a river that parts the valley of this town
Em7 G
Following the road up to your father's farm
Em7 G
Your rosy lungs were empty on the day that you were born
Em7 G
And no one thought you'd make it past the morning
-----
Am G
Ho...........Hum
Am G
Ho...........Hum
-----
Em7
Your brother said your mother
G
Was a firefly you buried in the earth
Em7
And every night, the fire light
G
Warms the tender bits of skin beneath your shirt
Em7 G
The climbing constellations move in semi-tones
Em7 G
And set behind the county line in a melody of gravitation

Em7 G7 G7 G6 G6 G G
Calling on the colours of the road!
Em7 G7 G7 G6 G6 G G
Sleep amongst the mango trees and poison toads
Em7 G7 G7 G6 G6 G G
A flood for every footprint, and every mile you forgot
Em7 G7 G7 G6 G6 G G
Though your hands were little, they always gave a lot
-----
Am G
Hold your breath...
Am G
Hold your breath...
Am G
Hold your breath...
Am G
Hold your breath...

C D
(x2)
-----
C D
The sanctity of soil
C D
Wandering roots and living oils
C D
Reunions underground
C D
Sunlight surfacing, and all around, mountains like diaphragms...
G
The rhythm of a landscape that is breathing
-----
G (repeat until end)
