The Moon Dead In The River Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G][Am]

[Verse 1]
Where [Am]did you come from,
oh [C]mama?
I got [D]on my getaway [Am]club
A voice more harmoni[C]ous
than [D]I have ever k[F]nown
Deep in [G]my [Am]heart
[F]I think you shouldn't have c[Am]ome here
I'm better [F]on my own
in the early morning [G]sun
You were not here [D]last night
And I could not [Am]sleep
My life will [C]follow [D]the [C]flo[D]wer
[F]If the flower is carried
away by the [Am]river
When you watch me, and with a [C]deep laugh
I am [D]beautiful and sweet, soft and [Am]good
A river of tenderness to flood [C]my sadness
A [D]choir of hearts, [F]winds of laughter,
one hundred [Am]poems
[F]The moon dead in the [Am]river
[F]He who has spilled all the soul of this [G]earth
[D]I am lost in t[G]he d[Am]usk
My life will [C]follow [D]the [C]flower[D][F]
If the flower is carried away by the [Am]river[Bb][Am][Bb]
[Am][Bb][F][Am][Bb][Am][Bb][Am][Bb][F][Am]
Against death and war,
severe violence, [C]detention, intimidation,
[D]torture and assassination.
[Am]Our brothers are killed
by the [D]fan[Em]aticism [C]of
[F]cru[G]el men[Am]
[F]An infinite love em[Am]braces it with wings
And sur[F]rounds like a necklace
the blue earth globe
[G]and ignores the distinctions
of [D]races and religions,
of creeds and [Am]countries.
My life will [C]follow the [D]flower[F]
if the flower is carried away by the [Am]river.
[F]I am in pieces for the years
[Am]I have been living
[F]Here I am a rain of stars
[G]At heart I find that I am myself
[D]Deep in my heart I am not fre[Am]e
My life will [C]follow the [D]flower
[F]If the flower is carried away by the riv[Am]er,
My life will [C]follow the [D]flower[F].
If the flower is carried away by the [Am]river
If the [F]flower is carried [G]away by [Am]the river
