[Intro]
F/Eb D7/C B7/A G#m  Em
Ebm  F Emaj7  Em6   B


[Verse 1]
A stick, a stone,
it's the end of
    G#m
the road
It's the rest
          Em
of a stump, it's
              B
a little alone
It's a sliver of
F7
glass, it is life,
            Em6
it's the sun
It is night,
      Em
it is death,
it's a trap, it's
     B
a gun

[Verse 2]
The oak when it
F#m7
blooms, a
                C#7
fox in the brush
The knot in the
Em
wood, the
          B
song of a thrush
The will of the

wind, a F#m7
         Fdim
cliff, a fall
A scratch, a
    Em
lump, it is
              B
nothing at all
It's the wind
blowing
Bm7
free, it's the
end
       Fdim
of the slope
It's a beam, it's
  Em
a void,
it's a hunch,
       B
it's a hope


[Chorus]
And the river
 bank
A
talks of the
B7
waters
   C#
of March
It's the end of
    Em6
the strain, it's
    Em          B
the joy in your heart

[Verse 3]
The foot, the
Bm7
ground,
 the
              G#dim
flesh and the bone
The beat of the
Gm7
road, a
            B
slingshot's stone
A fish, a
     F#m7        C#
flash, a silvery glow
           Em
A fight, a bet,
               B
the range of a bow


[Verse 4]
The bed of
    F#m7
the well,
the
           C#7
end of the line
The dismay in the
Em6
face, it's a
             B
loss, it's a find
           F#m7
A spear, a spike, a
        G#dim
point, a nail
              Gm
A drip, a drop, the
           B
end of the tale


[Verse 5]
A truckload of
F#m7
bricks in the
             C#7
soft morning light
The sound of a
Em
shot in the
            B
dead of the night
          F#m7
A mile, a must, a
B7
thrust,
   C#
 a bump,
It's a girl,
 it's a
Em
rhyme, it's
  Em7
a cold, it's the
B
mumps

[Verse 6]
The plan of the
F#m7
house, the
        C#7
body in bed
And the car that
    Em
got stuck,
it's the mud, it's
    B
the mud
           F#m7
A float, a drift, a
B7        C#7
flight, a wing
  Fdim    Em
A hawk, a quail, the
           B/F#
promise of spring

[Chorus]
And the river bank
 F#m7
 talks of
    B7        C#7/F
the waters of March
It's the promise
   Em
of life,
it's the joy in
     B
your heart


[Interlude]
F/Eb D7/C B7/A G#m Em
Ebm  F Emaj7  Em6  B

[Verse 7]
                B
A snake, a stick, it
               G#m
is John, it is Joe
It's a thorn on your
C#dim
hand and a cut
        B
in your toe
A point, a grain,
         C#
a bee, a bite
           Em     A
A blink, a buzzard, a
sudden stroke
        B
of night


[Verse 8]
              Bm
A pass in the mountains,
              C#7/B
a horse and a mule
In the distance the
Em
shelves
rode three shadows
   B
of blue


[Chorus]
And the river bank
Bm7
talks of the
          C#7
waters of March
It's the promise
   C
of life in
your heart, in
     B
your heart


[Verse 9]
           B/A
A stick, a stone,
               G#m
the end of the road
              G
The edge of a log, a
         B
lonesome road
            F7
A sliver of glass,
            Emaj7
a life, the sun
           Em
A knife, a death,
               B
the end of the run


[Outro]
And the river bank
F#m7
talks of
    B7        C#
the waters of March
It's the end of
    Em
all strain,
it's the joy in
     B
your heart
F#m7    C#/B   Em
