Muck And Mire Chords by Brown Bird

[A] _ _ [G] _ [A] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I must drag my body [G] through the mucking of mire, _
Gathering branches [A] for the steam of [B] fire,
[A]
Twigged I would rather [G] just stand and nest,
Or with a wooden wing [Am] than fly.
They said, hey,
_ [Em] _ Digging out your well,
The [G] water makes a soft [Am] man,
It's your head and his hell,
_ _ _ [G] Rip the curb and all the way,
Moving dirt along the steam [Am] of fire.

I'd call on my lord,
But he can't help me now,
I'd fall on [C] my sword,
If I only knew how [F] to believe,
There's nothing above,
Only [Am] absence and [F] breath,
Of hatred and love,
[A] But it was born into [G] me,
[A] If I can't burn [G] it [Am] out,
I'll forge on my sword,
And the blades I'll [G] be proud,
[F] And toil all my days,
In those [Am] fields of fire,
_ _ _ _ And [G] I will welcome those flames,
In a [Am] funeral pyre.
