-Bone of Song- -Josh Ritter- -------------- Capo 7
GJust where it now liCadd9es I can no longer saGy Cadd9 I Gfound it on a Cadd9cold and November Gday Cadd9 In the Groots of a Sycamore Cadd9tree where it had hid so lonGg Cadd9 In a Gbox made out of Cadd9Myrtle lay the Bone of SonGg Cadd9
The Bone of Song was a jawbone, old and bruised Worn out in the service of the Muse And along its sides and teeth were written words I ran my palm along them and I heard
Em"LuckyG are youD who finds me inC the wilderGneDssC Amin7 Amin7/G G/F G Cadd9 G Cadd9 I am the only unquiet ghost that does not seek rest"
The words on the bone of song were close and small And though their toungues were dead I found I knew them all In the hieroglyphs of quill and quatrain lines Osiris, the fall of Troy, and Auld Lang Syne Kathleen Mauvoreen, Magnificat, Your cheatin' heart The chords of a covenant king singing for the Ark. Then I saw on a white space that was left A blessing written, older than the rest And it said "leave me here I care not for wealth or fame I'll remember your song but I'll forget your name" The words that I sang blew off like leaves in the wind First like birds on the branches before landing on the bone again, again Then the bone was quiet it said no more to me So I left it in the ribbons of the Sycamore tree And as night had come so I turned around and headed home With a lightness in my step and a song in my bones "Lucky are you who finds me in the wilderness I am the only unquiet ghost that does not seek rest" Cadd9: x30033
