[A] For days [Am] she lay [C] as still as stone, [E] hooked [Dm] to pumps [F] and tubes.
[A] Then out her [C] window the streetlights [D] flashed and at last [Dm] her fingers [F] moved.

_ there long [C] wrath took her [D] over raging _ [F] waterfalls. _
[A] Deep within [Am] _ [C] uncharted jungle [D] where giant _ [F] caterpillars crawl. _
[A] They spun their [C] silky _ rubber [D] of cocoon [Dm] between the [F] trees.
[A] And still she hangs [C] this way [Dm] deep within the [F] dripping leaves.
Keeping time with [E] every rumble, [F] every quiver _ [E] of the earth.
[F] And she slowly [E] changes shape [F] with the turning [E] of the _ world.
