B7/A

Verse 1
B7/A 
A stick, a stone,
G#m 
it's the end of the road
Em/G 
It's the rest of a stump,
it's a little alone
Bmaj9 
It's a sliver of glass,
B9 
C#/E# 
it is life, it's the sun
It is night, it is death,
Em6 
Bmaj9 
it's a trap, it's a gun
B9 
The oak when it blooms,
C#/E# 
a fox in the brush
Em6 
The nod of the wood,
Bmaj9 
the song of a thrush
B9 
The wood of the wing,
C#/E# 
a cliff, a fall
Em6 
A scratch, a lump, it is nothing at all

Chorus 1

Bmaj9

It's the wind blowing free,

it's the end of a slope

C#/E#

It's a bean, it's a void,

Em6

Bmaj9

it's a hunch, it's a hope

And the riverbank talks

C#/E#

of the Waters of March

Em6

It's the end of the strain,

Interlude 1

it's the joy in your heart

Bmaj9

Em6

Verse 2
Bmaj9 
B9 
The foot, the ground,
C#/E# 
the flesh and the bone
Em6 
The beat of the road,
Bmaj9 
a sling-shot stone
B9 
A truckload of bricks
C#/E# 
in the soft morning light
Em6 
The shot of a gun in the dead of the night
Bmaj9 
B9 
A mile, a must, a thrust, a bump
C#/E# 
Em6 
It's a girl, it's a rhyme,
Bmaj9 
it's a cold, it's the mumps
B7/A 
G#m 
The plan of the house, the body in bed
Em/G 
And the car that got stuck,

Chorus 2
it's the mud, it's the mud
Bmaj9 
B9 
A float, adrif, a flight, a wing
C#/E# 
A cock, a quail,
Em6 
Bmaj9 
the promise of spring
B9 
And the riverbank talks
C#/E# 
of the Waters of March
Em6 
B 
It's the promise of life, it's the joy in your heart

Verse 3
Bmaj9 
B9 
A point, a grain, a bee, a bite
C#/E# 
Em6 
A blink, a buzzard,
Bmaj9 
a sudden stroke of night
B9 
C#/E# 
A pin, a needle, a sting, a pain
Em6 
A snail, a riddle, a wasp, a stain

Chorus 3
Bmaj9 
B9 
A snake, a stick,
C#/E# 
it is John, it is Joe
Em6 
Bmaj9 
A fish, a flash, a silvery glow
Bm 
And the riverbank talks
C#7/B 
of the Waters of March
C/B 
It's the promise of life

Verse 4
in your heart, in your heart
Bmaj9 
B7/A 
A stick, a stone,
G#m 
the end of the load
Em/G 
Bmaj9 
The rest of a stump, a lonesome road
B9 
C#/E# 
A sliver of glass, a life, the sun
Em6 
A night, a death,
Bmaj9 
the end of the run
B9 
And the riverbank talks
C#/E# 
of the Waters of March
Em6 
It's the end of all strain,
