Wilco - Remember the mountain bed

^FDo you still sing of the ^Dmountain bed we ^Fmade of limbs and leaves? Do you still sigh there near the sky where the ^Fholly berry ^Dbleeds? You ^Amlaughed as I covered you^F over with leaves F^Amace, breast, hips and ^Fthighs ^FYou smiled when I said the ^Fleaves were ^Amjust the ^Fcolor of your ^Feyes

^FRosin smells and turpenti^Dne smells from e^Fucalyptus and pine Bitter tastes of twigs we chewed where tangled ^Fwoodbines tw^Dine Tree^Ams held us in on all four^F sides so t^Amhick we could not see ^{F F}I could not see any wrong i^Fn you, and y^Amou saw no^Fne in me ^F

^FYour arm was brown agains^Dt the ground, yo^Fur cheeks part of the sky Your fingers played with grassy moss, as limber^F you did lie^D Your^Am stomach moved beneath y^Four shirt and ^Amyour knees were in the a^Fir ^FYour feet played games with^F mountain ro^Amots as yo^Fu lay thinking^F there

^FBelow us the trees grew c^Dlumps of trees r^Faised families of trees, and they As proud as we tossed their heads in the wind a^Fnd flung goo^Dd seeds away The ^Amsun was hot and the sun ^Fwas bright down^Am in the valley below ^{F F}Where people starved and hu^Fngry for lif^Ame so empt^Fy come and go ^F

^FThere in the shade and hi^Dd from the sun w^Fe free'd our minds and learned Our greatest reason for being here, our bodies ^Fmoved and bu^Drned Ther^Ame on our mountain bed of^F leaves we l^Amearned life's reason why^{F F}People laugh and love and d^Fream, they f^Amight and ^Fthey hate to d^Fie

^FThe smell of your hair I ^Dknow is still th^Fere, if most of our leaves are blown Our words still ring in the brush and the trees^F where singi^Dng seeds are sown Your^Am shape and form is dim, ^Fbut plain ther^Ame on our mountain bed ^{F F}I see my life was brightest^F where you l^Amaughed an^Fd laid your he^Fad

^FI learned the reason why ^Dman must work an^Fd how to dream big dreams To conquer time and space and fight the rivers ^Fand the seas^D I st^Amand here filled with my ^Femptiness now and ^Amlook at city and land ^{F F}I know why farms and cities^F are built b^Amy hot war^Fm nervous hand^Fs

^FI've crossed many states ^Djust to stand he^Fre now, my face all hot with tears I've crossed city and valley, desert and stream^F to bring my^D body here My h^Amistory and future blaze ^Fbright in me and ^Amall my joy and pain ^{F F}Go through my head on our m^Fountain bed ^Amwhere I s^Fmell your hair^F again

^FAll this day long I linge^Dr here and on in^F through the night My greeds, my joys, my cravings, hopes, my drea^Fms inside me^D fight My l^Amoneliness healed, my emp^Ftiness filled I wa^Amlk above all pain ^{F F}Back to the breast of my wo^Fman and chil^Amd to scat^Fter my seeds a^Fgain...
