Through
C

the first of August
C 
G 
D 
C 
Lying on the coldly ground
G 
Em 
G 
Fallen out of focus
D 
C 
Colors slowly breaking down
Em 
Down the road,
G 
C 
G 
you've been drawing
C 
G 
D 
pictures of me
G 
Em 
G 
Where you go  with
the sweet wind,
D 
C 
there'll be trees there that you know.
G 
C 
G 
So careful not to part
D 
C 
Sure to make it never hold
Em

Down the road where you're shining

G 
Em

Mama knows you gotta go,
son
Sister's gonna miss you
D

when you go
Em 
C

Down the road you've been drawing,
C

line by line
Em

And the poet has been writing you,
G

writing you down
C

G 
C 
G 
D 
C 
You
G 
C

And if it wears harder,
D 
C 
it still steps in a winding dark
Em 
C 
There is music that you're raising,
G 
C 
G 
Em 
and your own little
C 
G 
C 
baby is waiting.
G 
D 
And don't you think that you were right
And don't you think that you were right
G 
Em 
G 
Mama knows you gotta go, son
D 
C 
Sister's gonna miss you when you go
G 
C 
G 
See the sun on the other side
On the first of August
