Transpose:
Standard Tuning
Capo 3rd fret

D A G Do you still sing of the mountain bed we made of limbs and leaves?
D ADo you still sigh there near the sky where the holly berry bleeds?
Bm GYou laughed as I covered you over with leaves
Em GFace, breast, hips and thighs
D C Em G DYou smiled when I said the leaves were just the color of your eyes
D A G Rosin smells and turpentine smells from eucalyptus and pine
D ABitter tastes of twigs we chewed where tangled woodbines twine
Bm GTrees held us in on all four sides
Em Gso thick we could not see
D C Em G DI could not see any wrong in you, and you saw none in me
D A G Your arm was brown against the ground, your cheeks part of the sky
D AYour fingers played with grassy moss, as limber you did lie
Bm GYour stomach moved beneath your shirt
Em Gand your knees were in the air
D C Em G DYour feet played games with mountain roots as you lay thinking there
D A G Below us the trees grew clumps of trees raised families of trees, and they
D AAs proud as we tossed their heads in the wind and flung good seeds away
Bm GThe sun was hot and the sun was bright
Em Gdown in the valley below
D C Em G DWhere people starved and hungry for life so empty come and go
D A G There in the shade and hid from the sun we free'd our minds and learned
D AOur greatest reason for being here, our bodies moved and burned
Bm GThere on our mountain bed of leaves
Em Gwe learned life's reason why
D C Em G DPeople laugh and love and dream, they fight and they hate to die
D A G The smell of your hair I know is still there, if most of our leaves are blown
D AOur words still ring in the brush and the trees where singing seeds are sown
Bm GYour shape and form is dim, but plain
Em Gthere on our mountain bed
D C Em G DI see my life was brightest where you laughed and laid your head
D A G I learned the reason why man must work and how to dream big dreams
D ATo conquer time and space and fight the rivers and the seas
Bm GI stand here filled with my emptiness now
Em Gand look at city and land
D C Em G DI know why farms and cities are built by hot warm nervous hands
D A G I've crossed many states just to stand here now, my face all hot with tears
D AI've crossed city and valley, desert and stream to bring my body here
Bm GMy history and future blaze bright in me
Em Gand all my joy and pain
D C Em G DGo through my head on our mountain bed where I smell your hair again
D A G All this day long I linger here and on in through the night
D AMy greeds, my joys, my cravings, hopes, my dreams inside me fight
Bm GMy loneliness healed, my emptiness filled
Em GI walk above all pain
D C Em G DBack to the breast of my woman and child to scatter my seeds again...
