The piano comes in after the second run through playing the chords G - Em7 - Cadd9
Verse:
G G/F#
Tonight I cried the tears of a child
Em7 D
Who knows what fears run deep and wild inside
Cadd9 G Em7 Cadd9
But the river's in flood tonight
G G/F#
I layed down and the light streamed across my face
Em7 D
I felt the beauty of some deeper grace and I tried
Cadd9 G Em7 Cadd9
To find my way to the other side
Chorus:
D G Cadd9
Now I, feel you skin as smooth as silk
D G Cadd9
Drunk like a baby on his mama's milk
Cadd9 G D
Take me down under the wishing tree
D Cadd9 Em7 G Em7 Cadd9
And lay your healing hands on me
and then back to the verse again, repeat it and the chorus
The bridge bit uses the chords:
Bm - Cadd9 - Em7 - D
Then the solo: over the chords G - D - Em7 - D - Cadd9 - G - Em7 - Cadd9
