Intro: C/Bb

                                    Am6                
Stick, a stone, it's the end of the road, it's the rest
     Fm/Ab                C6/9/G
 of a stump, it's a little alone
                  F#5-                   / 7 F7M           
It's a sliver of glass, it is life, it's the sun, it is
           Fm6                        C6/9
 night, it is death, it's a trap, it's a gun
                C4/7/9      C7/9-    F#m5-/7          
The oak when it blooms, a fox in the brush, a knot in 
    Fm6                C6/9
the wood, the song of a thrush
                C4/7/9   C7/9-    F#m5-/7           
The wood of the wind, a cliff, a fall, a scratch, a 
Fm6                     C6/9
lump, it is nothing at all
                 C4/7/9               C7/9-    F#m5-/7 
It's the wind blowing free, it's the end of the slope. 
                  Fm6                        C6/9
it's a beam it's a void, it's a hunch, it's a hope
                    F#5-/7                 F7M         
And the river bank talks, of the waters of March, it's 
              Bb7/13                 C6/9
the end of the strain the joy in your heart
               C/Bb                    Am6             
The foot, the ground, the flesh, and the bone the beat 
     Fm/Ab               C6/9/G
of the road, a slingshot's stone
           C4/7/9     C7/9-  F#m5-/7                  
A fish, a flash, a silvery   glow, a fight, a bet the 
 Fm6       C6/9
fange of a bow
             C/Bb                   Am6                
The bed of the well, the end of the line, the dismay in
   Fm/Ab                     C6/9
 the face, it's a loss, it's a find
           C/Bb              Am6                      
A spear, a spike, a point, a nail, a drip, a drop, the
Fm/Ab     C6/9
 end of the tale
                C/Bb                       Am6       
A truckload of bricks in the soft morning light, the 
            Fm/Ab                 C6/9
sound of a shot in the dead of the night
                   C4/7/9      C7/9-      F#m5-/7     
A mile, a must, a thrust, a bump, it's a girl, it's a 
              Fm6               C6/9
rhyme, it's a cold, it's the mumps
                C4/7/9     C7/9-   F#m5-/7          
The plan of the house, the body in bed, and the car 
        Fm6                           C6/9
that got stuck, it's the mud, it's the mud
            C/Bb                      Am6            
A float, a drift, a flight, a wing, a hawk, a quail, 
    Fm/Ab        C6/9
the promise of spring
                    C4/7/9       C7/9-    F#m5-/7     
And the river bank talks of the waters of March, it's 
              Fm6                          C6/9
the promise of life, it's the joy in your heart

            C4/7/9       C7/9-      F#m5-/7           
A snake, a stick, it is John, it is Joe, it's a thorn 
       Fm6                   C6/9
in your hand and a cut in your toe
           C4/7/9   C7/9-   F#m5-/7        Fm6         
A point, a grain, a bee, a bite, a blink, a buzzard, a 
               C6/9
sudden stroke of night
         C/Bb             Am6              Fm/Ab       
A pin, a needle, a sting, a pain, a snail, a riddle, a 
     C6/9
wasp, a stain
              C4/7/9      C7/9-       F#m5-/7       
A pass in the mountains, a horse and a mule, in the 
           Fm6                         C6/9
distance, the shelves rode three shadows of blue
                C4/7/9     C7/9-   F#m5-/7          
And the river talks of the waters of March it's the 
       Fm6                C6/9
promise of life in your heart
           C/Bb                  Am6              
A stick, a stone, the end of the road the rest of a 
Fm/Ab             C6/9
stump, a lonesome road
             C/Bb               Am6            Fm/Ab 
A silver of glass, a life, the sun a knife, a death, 
             C6/9
the end of the run
                    F#5-/7                 F7M       
And the river bank talks of the waters of March it's 
                Bb7/13                      C6/9
the end of all strain, it's the joy in your heart
