Verse 1
(C major) Oh, the vastness of (A minor) the turquoise
That day (F major) in New Mexico
(C major) When (D minor) we sat in the sun with the (A minor) raven
At Te (D minor) suque Pueblo (A minor)
In the (C major) ruins of the old (E minor) ones
We (F major) picked up pottery clay (C major)
Pieces (D minor) of a once -joined (A minor) jigsaw
puzzled (D minor) the time it swept away. (A minor)
I (C major) brushed off the dust
from a jagged (E minor) shard
I'd wanted (F major) for my (C major) own
When (D minor) I felt with a shock
a (A minor) thought from the rock
saying this (F major) is still (G major) our (A minor) home. (G major)
So I (C major) put the piece down and
it's on (E minor) home ground,
and we scrambled (F major) on up the (C major) screen,
(D minor) And I swore I'd never
take a thing (A minor) away,
unless it (D minor) was given (G major) to me.
Oh, the vastness (C major) of the tur (A minor) quoise,
today (F major) in New Mexico,
(C major) As (G major) (D minor) we sat in the sun with the raven
(A minor) At Tusuki, (D minor) Pueblo. (A minor)
Los Alam (C major) os lies behind (E minor) these hills,
The (F major) nuclear city, (C major)
Where they (D minor) built the bomb
called the (A minor) Gourd of Ashes
in a (D minor) Hopi prophecy.
(G major) But here (C major) in the eye of
the af (E minor) ternoon sky
We (F major) sit on the peaceable stone (C major)
On the (D minor) rim of a cliff
where the breeze (A minor) has left
And we don't (F major) feel (D flat major) quite (F major) alone (A minor)
Be (G major) cause the (C major) sun seeps
into the crack (E minor) s in the rocks
In the long (F major) bones of our (C major) limbs
And the (D minor) long river runs through
the (A minor) cottonwood trees
far be (D minor) low in the shivering (G major) wind. (C major) (G major)
Oh, the vastness (C major) of the (A minor) turquoise
today (F major) in New Mexico, (C major)
As (D minor) we sit on the lip of an ancient cliff (A minor)
at Tezuka (D minor) Pueblo. (A minor)
A raven (C major) lofts over (E minor) our heads
(F major) and circles us once with a (C major) call
An (G major) d then she (D minor) drifts with the breeze
past the (A minor) mesky trees
The (D minor) jet from the split cliff (G major) wall
Well, we sit (C major) up straight and (E minor) meditate
As that raven (F major) glides by on the (C major) wind
Then she (D minor) spirals five feet over (A minor) us
And call (D minor) s to (Fdim) us again (A minor)
The (G major) third time (C major) she swoops over (E minor) us
Soft wing (F major) beats brush our (C major) heads
Then (G major) (D minor) she stands on a rock
about ten feet (A minor) off
Landed (D minor) on (G major) a ledge
Oh, the vastness (C major) of the tur (A minor) quoise
Today, (F major) in New Mexico,
(C major) as (G major) (D minor) we sit in the sun with the raven
(A minor) at Tezuqui (D minor) Pueblo. (A minor)
And un (C major) der the sun,
I feel (E minor) we're seen
(A minor) and (F major) known by (A minor) the ancient ones,
And (D minor) the raven's a sacred go -between
(A minor) In this place (D minor) of sentient stones. (G major)
In a (C major) timeless tide, (A minor) we sit (E minor) and bide
And the pieces all (F major) fit in a (C major) hole.
Then we (D minor) join our minds
with the tur (A minor) quoise sky
Circ (D minor) ling us (G major) like a pottery bowl. (A minor)
Oh, (C major) I don't care if (E minor) I'm nowhere
and the (F major) ages break my (C major) bone
I'll (D minor) stay with you and the raven (A minor)
where peace (D minor) is all our home (A minor)
No, (E minor) (C major) I don't care
if I'm (E minor) nowhere
and the (F major) ages break my (C major) bone
I'll (D minor) stay with you and (A minor) the raven,
where peace (D minor) is all our (A minor) hope.
Then the mo (C major) ment passed,
and the raven (E minor) flapped her wing (F major) s,
and she flew away. (C major)
And (D minor) there on the brink
we heard (A minor) a clink,
and we saw something (D minor) rock and sway. (A minor)
Where that (C major) bird had stood
was a (A minor) pot (E minor) tery shard,
and it moved (F major) though the wind was (C major) low.
(D minor) I picked it up and (A minor) felt a shock
at this gift (D minor) from the great unknown. (A minor)
No, (C major) I don't care if (E minor) I'm nowhere
in the ages, (F major)
break my (C major) bowl,
I'll stay (D minor) with you and the (A minor)
(D minor) No, (A minor) (C major) I don't care
if (E minor) I'm nowhere,
and the (F major) ages break my (C major) bone.
(D minor) I'll stay with you in the raven, (A minor)
where our peace is (G major) all our (A minor) own.
Where our (F major) peace is (G major) all (C major) our home.
