Capo on 4th
Johnny doesn't fret the high E string on the G chord.
CMy age is my condition,
Gmy love is my intentF.
AmI bathed time with ageless loveF
Emor forget what came and wentG
Gfor a well full of contentEm.
CTheres a space in the heaveFns,
theres aEm hole in my heart.G
CTheres a lack of fine diniFng gone to woEmrk on my heart. G
AmTheres a plague for the fullness,F
Emtheres an empty retGreat,
Cand the restaurant bFuffet isn’Emt all I can eGat.
My age is my condition,
my love is my intent.
I bathed time with ageless love
or forget what came and went
for a well full of content.
Onward to get up,
too quick to get down.
Will love, food, and money
do all the trade in this town?
With eyes looking hollow
and my bones are still white,
I haven’t the patience to stay out tonight
My age is my condition,
my love is my intent.
I bathed time with ageless love
or forget what came and went
for a well full of content.
Stuck with thoughts of the buttercups
and the bees they do know.
They suck on the yellow as nature is told.
I suck on the colors that I find in the sea,
the blues and the greens they don’t bother me.
My age is my condition,
my love is my intent.
I bathed time with ageless love
or forget what came and went
for a well full of content.
[Not 100% sure of this part, feel free to correct me]
CMy soul is in the trees
CIts in the sap that fills the wood
GIts in the rings that tell the rain
FIts in the smoke that marks the day
AmIts in the fire in my heart
FIts in the embers in the soot
EmIts in the place I put the ashes
GIts in the soil it's in the grass
GIts in the miles of all the herd
CIts in the beetles and the birds
GIts in the feathers that I found one morning lFying on the ground
CIts hallelujah and oh
CIts where I’ve been and where I go
DmIts in the people that I meet
AmIts feeling silent at their feet
FIts ever dutifully yours, it stems my pride
FIt opens doors
My age is my condition,
my love is my intent.
I bathed time with ageless love
or forget what came and went
for a world full of content.
GColors, at Fdawn swallow me.C
DmColors, at niAmght time set me freeF.
