THE WOOD SONG (Emily Saliers)
-----------------------------
[Thanks to Chris Knestrick (aero0001@frank.mtsu.edu) for the start.]
[Each chord is half a measure.]
G[guGitarA7sus4 intro] A7sus4 C D D/F#
Now I see we're in the boat in two by two's
Only the heart that we have for a tool we could use
And the very close quarters are hard to get used to
Love weighs the hull down with its weight
-
G C D/F#-
G C G The thin horGizon of a plA7sus4an is almost A7sus4clear C My friends aDnd I have had a tough GtimeG We're Gbruising our bGrains, hard A7sus4up against chA7sus4ange C All the olDd dogs and the mGagiciGanBut the wood is Gtired,G and the wood is A7sus4old A7sus4
And we'll make it CfinDe, if the weatherG holGds
But if the weather Gholds,G we'll have missed the A7sus4point A7sus4
CThat's whereD I need tD/F#o go
No way construction of this tricky plan
Was built by other than a greater hand
With a love that passes all our understading
Watching closely over the journey
Yeah, but what it takes to cross the great divide
Seems all the courage I can muster up inside
But we get to have some answers when we reach the other side
The prize is always worth the rocky ride
But the wood is tired, and the wood is old
And we'll make it fine, if the weather holds
But if the weather holds then we'll have missed the point

G C D/F#-

Sometimes I ask to sneak a closer look
E Skip to the Efinal chapter oAsus9f the book A
A A Bm7(4) Bm7(4)
And then maybe steer us clear from some of the pain it took
E To get us where we Eare this fCar,C thDsus4is far D
(G)
But the question drowns in its futility
And even I have got to laugh at me
Because no on gets to miss the storm of what will be
Just holding on for the ride
And the wood is tired, and the wood is old
And we'll make it fine if the weather holds
But if the weather holds then we'll have missed the point
That's where I need to go
