Rio Grande Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][Bm]

[Verse 1]
[Bm]Somewhere
down [D]South of here
There's a [Bm]woman with an
[G]armload of grass
[A]Weaving a [Bm]basket
That'll [A]float the [Esus4]Rio Grand[G]e
She'll [D]send her baby [G]on it
The [D]river [Esus4]running wild and fast
To [A]curry the [D]favor[Bm]
[D]Of wha[A]tever pharao
[G]h owns [Esus4]the land

[Verse 2]
[Esus4]A seed of an idea
Like mustard greens
Like [A]newborn [Esus4]fingers
Curled [D]and half asleep
[A]Awake
[D][A][Bm]

[Verse 3]
[D]Fro[Bm]m her mouth, a vin[D]eyard
[Bm]Of swears and halle[G]lujahs entwined
A [A]new wine [Bm]is vi[Esus4]nted
A [A]blend of [Bm]sweet [Esus4]com mandment
[G]Oh, to

[Verse 4]
[D]hell with the se[G]mantics
The camel [D]and the [G]cable [Esus4]confide
The [A]eye of a [D]needle[Esus4]
Is [A]tall [D]enough to [G]stand [Esus4]inside

[Verse 5]
[Esus4]
A seed of an idea
Like [A]mustard [Esus4]greens
Like new[A]born [Esus4]fingers
Curled and half [Bm]asleep
[Esus4]Awake wit[D]h a thunder
from underneath
Stretch [G]up and [D]reach through

[Interlude 1]
The hardest part of me
[D][G][D]

[Verse 6]
May [G]all our tinfoil idols
Lay [D]crumpled [G]on [A]the ground
And our prefab [D]Olympus
Di[A]vided [G]by the thousand
Oh, [D]maybe [G]I'm naive for thinking
That a [D]mountain so [A]stubborn
can move
But if I'm a mountain [Bm]moving
I think maybe you [D]can be, too
[D]
