_ [C#] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ The jacaranda, [B] wet with color [F#] and the heat is a great paintbrush, lending [C#] color to our
lives, [F#] to the air and to our spaces.
But [B] I'm going to Alaska [F#] where there's snow to suck the sound [C#] out from the air.
[B] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ Up yet, [B] in the branches, [F#] the purple blossoms [C#] go pale at the edges.
[F#] There is heating in the shipping [B] of the sap and I've seen the [F#] traces of last year, but
[C#] then they hadn't grown so strong, their [F#] limbs were more like wires.
[B] Now they are [F#] cables, thick and alive with [C#] helium and electricity, and [F#] I am going to
Alaska [B] where you can go [F#] blind just by looking at the ground, where [C#] fat is eaten by itself
[B] just to keep the body warm.
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Because from where we are [B] now it seems really [F#] that everything is growing [C#] in a thousand different
ways, [F#] that the soil is soaked through with old [B] blood and with relatives [F#] who are buried
here or close to here and [C#] they are giving rise.
[F#] So what is happening or can you tell me otherwise?
I am going to Alaska where [C#] the animals can kill you [F#] but they do so in silence, and so
[B] if no one hears them [F#] then it really won't matter.
[C#] I am going to Alaska, [B] they tell me that it's [F#] perfect for my purpose. _
