So, there wasn't already a tab for this gorgeous, gorgeous song and I know this one doesn't do it justice,
but it's just a little something to sing along to. There might be a few chords here and there that could be
replaced by something better, I just couldn't find whatever it was. Feel free to annotate!
Capo on whichever fret fits your voice. The vocals are pretty low.
Am D
The brackish roots of river pine
G C
Anchored in my curving spine
Am Em
Bend to the whims of wind's design
Am D Em
And I lay down at your side
Am D
Above the brine of reds in clay
G C
A swollen angel oaks bouquet
C Am Em
In the red-winged blackbird's eyes of grey
Am D Em
A saltwater tear resides
C D G
But the sand and the earthen parapet
C D Em
Silts into This rivulet
G D Am Em
The bluffs and the banks will soon forget
Am D Em
A single tear was cried
Am D
And in this spawning ground it blooms
G C
The nectar and the petal plumes
C D Em
A purple swallow now exhumed
Am D Em
From the river that has died
C D G
The crimson of rinoculous
C D Em
Gardenia and dianthus
G D Am Em
The bloodless ivory water-lotus
Am D Em
Sweetly opens wide
C D G
Without a voice left to sing
C D Em
With waterlogged and heavy wing
G D Am Em
With peaceful eyes unsuffering
Am D Em
A pigeon floats in the tide
