THE WOOD SONG (Emily Saliers)-----------------------------(Thanks to Chris Knestrick (gt9066b@acme.gatech.edu) for the start.)(The D5-G-C-D5 part is probably totally wrong; forgive me.)G G A7sus4 Asus4 C(9) D D5 - G C - D5 D5 - G C - D5(guitar intro)G G A7sus4 A7sus4The thin horizon of a plan is almost clearC(9) D GMy friends and I have had a tough timeG G A7sus4 A7sus4We're losing our brains, hard up against changeC(9) D G GAll the old dogs and the magicianNow I see we're in the boat in two by two'sOnly the heart we have for a tool we can useAnd the very close quarters are hard to get used toLove weighs the hull down with it's weightG G A7sus4 A7sus4But the wood is tired, and the wood is oldC(9) D G GAnd we'll make it fine, if the weather holdsG G A7sus4 A7sus4But if the weather holds, we'll have missed the pointC(9) D G(9) - G C - D5 D5 - G C - D5That's where I need to goNo way construction of this tricky planWas built by other than a greater handWith a love that passes all our understadingWatching closely over the journeyYeah, but what it takes to croos the great divideSeems all the courage I can muster up insideBut we get to have some answers when we reach the other sideThe prize is always worth the rocky rideBut the wood is tired, and the wood is oldAnd we'll make it fine, if the weather holdsBut if the weather holds then we'll have missed the pointC(9) D Em B7 E EThat's where I need to goA A Bm7(4) Bm7(4)Sometimes I ask to sneak a closer lookE Esus4 A ASkip to the final chapter of the bookA A Bm7(4) Bm7(4)And then maybe steer us clear from some of the pain that it tookE Esus4 C C D DTo get us where we are this far, this far(G)But the question drowns in its futilityAnd even I have got to laugh at meBecause no on gets to miss the storm of what will beJust holding on for the rideAnd the wood is tired, and the wood is oldAnd we'll make it fine if the weather holdsBut if the weather holds then we'll have missed the pointThat's where I need to go
