[Verse]
C/Bb                                    Am6
A stick, a stone, it's the end of the road

                    Fm6/Ab
It's the rest of a stump, it's a little alone

C6/G              Gm7          C7            Am6/F#
It's a sliver of glass, it is life, it's the sun

                            Fm7              C9/G
It is night, it is death, it's a trap, it's a gun

                  C7/G                 D7/F#
The oak when it blooms, a fox in the brush

                Fm6                    C9/G
The knot in the wood, the song of a thrush

                  Gm7     C7       D7/F#
The will of the wind, a cliff, a fall

             Fm7          Fm6        C9/G
A scratch, a lump, it is nothing at all

                       C7/G            C7         Am6/F#
It's the wind blowing free, it's the end of the slope

                     Fm6                        C9/G
It's a beam, it's a void, it's a hunch, it's a hope
[Chorus]
C/G                 C7/G                    Am6/F#
And the river bank talks of the waters of March

                     Fm6                       C9/G
It's the end of the strain, it's the joy in your heart
[Verse]
C/G             C/Bb                      Am6
The foot, the ground, the flesh and the bone

                Fm6/Ab               C9/G
The beat of the road, a slingshot's stone

           C/Bb             D7/F#
A fish, a flash, a silvery glow

            Fm6                C9/G
A fight, a bet, the range of a bow

                 C/Bb                Am6
The bed of the well, the end of the line

                  Fm6/Ab                     C9/G
The dismay in the face, it's a loss, it's a find

            C/Bb              Am6
A spear, a spike, a point, a nail

           Fm6/Ab               C/G
A drip, a drop, the end of the tale

                 Gm9/C                      D7/F#
A truckload of bricks in the soft morning light

                Bb7/F
The shot of a gun in the dead of the night

           C/Bb              Am6
A mile, a must, a thrust, a bump,

                    Fm6/Ab                        C9/G
It's a girl, it's a rhyme, it's a cold, it's the mumps

                Gm7          C9      D/C
The plan of the house, the body in bed

                      Fm/C                         C6/G
And the car that got stuck, it's the mud, it's the mud

             Gm/C       C7      D7/C
A float, a drift, a flight, a wing

           Fm9/C                  C
A hawk, a quail, the promise of spring
[Chorus]
C                     C7/G                  Am6/F#
And the river bank talks of the waters of March

                    Fm           Fm6          C6
It's the promise of life, it's the joy in your heart
[Instrumental] F#/E Eb/Db C/Bb Am6 Fm6/Ab C/G Gb7b5 F Fm6 C6 C/Bb Am6 Fm6/Ab [Verse]
C/G            C/Bb                 Am6
A snake, a stick, it is John, it is Joe

                      Fm6/Ab                  C6/G
It's a thorn in your hand and a cut in your toe

            C/Bb            Am6
A point, a grain, a bee, a bite

            Fm6/Ab                      C9/G
A blink, a buzzard, a sudden stroke of night

          C/Bb               Am6
A pin, a needle, a sting, a pain

           Fm6/Ab               C/G
A snail, a riddle, a wasp or a stain

C/G              Cm7                     D/C
A pass in the mountains, a horse and a mule

                     Fm6/C                          C
In the distance the shelves rode three shadows of blue
[Chorus]
C                   Cm7                    D/C
And the river bank talks of the waters of March

                     Db/C                         C/G
It's the promise of life in your heart, in your heart
[Verse]
C           C/Bb                    Am6
A stick, a stone, the end of the load

              Fm6/Ab             C9/G
The rest of a stump, a lonesome road

              Gm7     C7        D/C
A sliver of glass, a life, the sun

             Fm6       G#dim/C     C/G
A night, a death, the end of the run
[Chorus]
C/G                  Gm7         C7        D/C
And the river bank talks of the waters of March

                     Fm6                        C9
It's the end of all strain, it's the joy in your heart
