[Intro] Am7 Ddim [Verse]
Am                                                   Bdim7  Ddim7   Fdim7  Gdim7
Morning comes, she follows the path to the river shore

Am                                                   Bdim7
Lightly sung, her song is the latch on the morning’s door

Am           C
See the sun, sparkle in the reeds

Am           C                 Bm  D
Silver beads, pass to the sea
[Bridge]
D                                                           A7
She comes from a town where they call her the wood cutter’s daughter

A7                                                          D
She’s brown as the bank where she kneels down to gather her water

D                                                Bm
She bears it away with a love that the river has taught her

Am                        C               Em/F#
Let it flow, let it flow, wide and clear
[Verse]
Am                                                    Bdim7  Ddim7   Fdim7  Gdim7
Round and round, the cut of the plow in the furrowed fields

Am                                                   Bdim7
Season’s round, the bushels of corn and the barley meal

Am             C
Broken ground, open and beckoning

Am             C                     Bm  D
To the spring, black dirt live again
[Bridge]
D                                                  A7
The plowman is broad as the back of the land he is sowing

A7                                               D
As he dances the circular track of the plow ever knowing

D                                                             Bm
That the work of his days measures more than the planting and growing

Am           Am           C              Em/F#
Let it grow, let it grow, greatly yield
[Chorus]
Em/F#         B             G            Em/F#
What shall we say, shall we call it by a name

   C                 G      Bm7
As well to count the angels dancing on a pin

Em/F# B             G                 Em/F#
Water bright as the sky from which it came

        D                                  A
And the name is on the earth that takes it in

   C                   G                Em/F#
We will not speak, but stand inside the rain

    C      G      D       Em      Am          C     Em/F#
And listen to the thunder shout, "I am, I am, I am, I am"
[verse jam] [Verse]
Am                                                      Bdim7  Ddim7   Fdim7  Gdim7
So it goes, we make what we made since the world began

Am                                           Bdim7
Nothing more, the love of the women, work of man

Am             C
Seasons round, creatures great and small

Am             C                       Bm  D
Up and down, as we rise and fall
D Fm E Jam on Am7 Jam on Em7 [Chorus]
Em/F#         B             G            Em/F#
What shall we say, shall we call it by a name

   C                 G      Bm7
As well to count the angels dancing on a pin

Em/F# B             G                 Em/F#
Water bright as the sky from which it came

        D                                  A
And the name is on the earth that takes it in

   C                   G                Em/F#
We will not speak, but stand inside the rain

    C      G      D       Em      Am          C     Em/F#
And listen to the thunder shout, "I am, I am, I am, I am"
