 Verse I
 
 Am C Fmaj7 Dm (riff)
 The black figure of my body above your window as youre dreaming
 Am        C                        F    Am G 
 I came to wake you and take you up north
 Am C Fmaj7 Dm (riff)
 The yard was wet, the heavens forget the way things are seeming
 Am              C                        F     
 For us who must stumble in yards dark as horses
 
 Am F Am G G7 
      
 Am C Famj7 Dm (riff)
 Your dream went like this, John the Bap-tist came back vapor veiled
 Am               C                       F      Am G 
 With grand expec-tations for what he had started
 Am C Fmaj7 Dm (riff)
 And you couldnt res-ist, you gave him the gist about how things failed
 Am              G                  F       
 And how all but one fire-heart had departed
 
 Chorus
 
 
          Em       F        Am       G   G7 
 And that you were her, and you were sure
                  Am                      C    
 That you had the Blood, that you had the Blood
             G    F 
 That all is made of
             Dm               C      
 And that is alright, that is alright
                Em          F   G G7 
 I cannot think of a better dove
              Am   
 To carry the Blood
 
 C Fmaj7 Dm(riff) Am C Fmaj7 Dm (riff)
 
 Verse II
 
 Am C Fmaj7 Dm (riff)
 The canal was bright, its innards ignite when moon stretches tight
 Am          C                     F      Am G 
 To show the cargo the floating is gliding
 Am C Fmaj7 Dm (riff)
 The edges are dark, its channeled by bark, it carries the mark
 Am       G                      F     
 Of every speckle of guilt I was hiding
 
 Am F Am G G7 
      
 
 Verse III
 
 Am                C                    
 The bathroom does taste of menstruation
 Fmaj7 Dm (riff)
 chasing night-musk through window screen
 Am                 C                 F    Am G 
 Like wounded doves all pretty things bleed
 Am              C               Fmaj7                      Dm     
 Like my highway dream, Judas re-deemed for the one kiss he rode on
 Am               G                   F    
 Our spirits ride canals and never in deeds
 
 Verse IV
 
 Em       F        Am       G G7 
 Deeds do go, and deeds do not
           Am               C    
 Carry the Blood, carry the Blood
             G    F 
 That all is made of
          Dm                     C    
 Carry it right, all through the night
              Em          F    G    G7 
 Till you see what we are of a dove 
                  Am   
 that carries the Blood
 
 C Fmaj7 Dm(riff) Am C Fmaj7 Dm Am
