[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
