Verse 1
D 
Gsus2 
D 
G 
Bm 
Sing my head like a clover
D 
G 
Bm 
And burn my hands in the woven sky
D 
G 
D 
I  don't get what mercy's given
Bm 
D 
G 
I will give my head to the walking light
D 
Bm 
D 
I  don't care if I live,
G 
D 
but I don't wanna die
G 
Bm 
You asked me this when I left here
D 
Could you give my soul
G 
Bm 
D 
to the traveling stream?
G 
If I had a working vision
D 
Bm 
I would see you there
D 
G 
where the delta breathes
D 
Bm 
D 
I would wash my bones
G 
D 
beneath the autumn leaves
Bm 
When I'm down
G 
D 
Bm 
G 
D 
Bm 
On Margie's land
G 
D 
G 
Bm 
This town isn't breathing
D 
G 
Bm 
G 
I put my ear to the sidewalk's mouth
D 
G 
D 
In the night I heard it screamin'
Bm 
Cause the shufflin' feet
D 
G 
never stop round here
D 
Bm 
Gotta burn some souls
D 
G 
D 
till the money is clear
G 
Bm 
It's gettin' cold as the day ends
D 
G 
My painted brow seems
Bm 
to furrow with the chills
D 
G 
D 
Is it me that I'm really after?
Bm 
D 
G 
Cause the poor old man that I used to be
D 
Bm 
Well now he's got my
D 
G 
D 
faded memories
Bm 
As the crops bend
G 
D 
Bm 
G 
On Marky's land

D 
Bm 
G 
D 
G 
Bm 
She caught me dead in the woodhouse
D 
G 
Bm 
Tired old limbs were ready for a fire
D 
G 
D 
Then she said, is this what warmth is?
Bm 
So I shed my skin
D 
G 
like the seeds from a bud
D 
Bm 
And she watered me down
D 
G 
D 
in the cold prairie mud
G 
Bm 
I'll visit her when the cold breaks
D 
G 
Bm 
She rolls through me like a train on  rails
D 
G 
D 
And I'm bound to rivers flowing
Bm 
D 
Carving out new banks
G 
as the ground gives way
D 
Bm 
D 
I  will spill my breath to the
G 
D 
bottom clay
Bm 
Until I've found
G 
My Margisland
D 
Bm 
Until I've found
G 
D 
Oh, my Margisland
Bm 
Until I've found
G 
D 
Bm 
D 
Oh, my Marguerite's Lair
G 
D 
Bm 
G 
D 
G 
D 
Bm 
G 
D 
You
