To Tundra Chords

Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 1]
Meet me [D]at
St. Nicholas
Among the oaks
Behind the church

[Verse 2]
That sway like [Em]pig-tailed girls
girls
As summer wind [D]whistles
Around your bare-skin knees
knees
And the for[A]sythia leaves
[D]In the shade

[Verse 3]
Lay with me
Tickled by
The feather reed

[Verse 4]
That's where the [Em]trees grow old
Under the [D]ivy's hold
As you in my two arms
Equally [A]safe from harm
And [D]in a

[Verse 5]
[Em]hazy day dream
Our bodies married the stream
And [D]we grow [Bm]down into
pebbles [D]and [A]silt

[Verse 6]
The water [Em]ran from the fields
Until [G]the oceans we filled
[D]And [Bm]found the sea-bed the [D]comfiest [A]quilt
[D]

[Interlude 1]
[Em][G][D][Bm][D]
[A][Em][G][D][Em]
[A]

[Verse 7]
There was more [Em]life in the weeds
than in [G]the few hundred seats
In [D]rows [Bm]from transept to chancel [D]to [A]nave
And when their [Em]anger had paused,
I turned and [G]answered their calls
With [A]your just [D]audience,
I'm the [Em]ap p[A]lause
We [Em]take on the [G]burden of all
these sad-eyed children
[D]children
[Bm]With lilies bunched in our h[D]ands[A]
[D]We fake our con[Em]cern an[G]d speak
softly as the [D]children
Tells wife to cancel her [A]plans

[Verse 8]
[Em]Take [D]a bod[Em]y to water[D],
[G]take a body [D]to tundra
[Bm]Just take me with[D][A][D][Em][G]
[D]you as well

[Outro 1]
