[F]
Do you still sing [C] in the mountain bed [Gm] We made from [Bb] limbs and leaves?
Do you still sigh there near the [Dm] sky With a holly berry [C] bleeds?
Do [Dm] you laugh as I [Bb] cover you over the leaves [Gm] Face, breasts, hips and [Bb] thighs?
[F] And you smile when I said [Eb] the [Gm] leaves are [Bb] just the color [F] of your eyes?
[Eb] [Gm] [Bb]
[F] [Fm]
Razzin' [C] smells and [Am] turpentine smells [Gm] from [Bb] eucalyptus and pine
Bitter taste of twigs we [F] chewed with a tangled advanced [C] twine
[Dm] Trees held [Bb] us in at our foresides [Gm] so thick we could not [Bb] see
I
[F] could not [Eb] see any [Gm] wrong in [Bb] you and you saw [F] none in me
Your arm was [C] brown against the ground [Bb] Your cheeks a part of the sky
Your fingers played with grassy moss [F] as limber you [C] lied
[Bb] Your [Dm] stomach moved [Bb] beneath your shirt and [Gm] your knees were [Bb] in the air
Your [F] feet played [Eb] games with the [Gm] mountain [Bb] roots as you lay thinking [F] there
Below us the [C] trees grew clumps of [Bb] trees raised families of trees and they
Sprouted sweet and tossed their heads [F] to the wind and plunkered [C] seeds away
The [Db] [Dm] sun was hot [Bb] and the sun was [Gm] bright down in the [Bb] valley below
[F] Where people [Eb] starved and hungry [Gm] for life so [Bb] empty could [F] come and go
There in the [C] shade and hid from the sun [Bb] we freed our minds and learned
Our greatest reason for being [F] here our bodies moved and [C] burned
There
[Dm] on our [Bb] mountain bed of leaves [Gm] we learned life's reason [Bb] why
People [F] [Bb]
laugh and [Gm] love and dream [Bb] they fight and they [F] hate to die
The smell of your [Am] hair I know is still [Gm] there most of our leaves are blown
[Bb] Words still ring in the brush in the [F] trees where the singing seeds are [C] sewn
Your [Dm] shape and [Bb] form is dim but [Gm] plain there on our [Bb] mountain bed
[F] I'll see my [Gm] life as bright as where [Bb] you laughed and [F] laid your head
Oh
[Eb] [Gm] [Bb]
[F]
I learned the reason [C] why man must [Gm] work and how to dream big dreams
[Bb] To conquer time and space and fight [F] the rivers and [C] the seas
[G] [Dm] I'll stand here [Bb] filled with my emptiness now [Gm] and look at [Bb] city and land
And [F] I'll know our farms [Eb] and [Gm] cities are built [Bb] by heart warm [F] nervous hands
I've crossed many states [C] just to stand here [Bb] now with my face all hot [Gm] with tears
[Bb] I've crossed city and valley and [F] desert and stream to bring my [C] body here
My [Dm]
history and [Bb] future bled spright in me [Gm] and all my [Bb] joy and pain
Go [F] through my head [Eb] on our [Gm] mountain [Bb] bed where I smell your hair [F] again
All this day long [C] I linger here [Bbm]
and on and through [Gm] the night
[Bb] My greed disarms my cravings folks [F] my dreams [C] inside me fight
My [Gm]
loneliness healed [Bb] my emptiness filled [Gm] I walk above [Bb] all pain
[F] Back to the breast [Eb] of my [Gm] woman and child [Bb] to scatter my [F] seeds again
