Josh Ritter – Lark (Guitar)

D
The golden ratio the shell

D                                A
The stairs ascending round themselves

    D     A               G           A
The trees rustle as if to kneel and listen

       D                          G           A          D
To the heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat

D
The oxygen in priestly green

D                              A
The answers dressed in labyrinthine

    D           A                  G           A
The telescopes atop the mountains of ecstatic vision listening

       D                          G           A          D
To the heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat

|:D           A :|
|:Hey, hey hey  :|

G      D          G     D
I am assured, yes I am assured yes

Bm    A                      G          D
I am assured that peace will come to me

G            D      G           D
A peace that can yes surpass the speed yes

Bm    A            G       D
Of my understanding and my need

D
The meteoric warp and went

D                                     A
In counterbalance to the spark ever ascending

    D             A                 G               A
The arrow shoots forward though it moves through repetition

       D                           G           A          D
To the heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat

|:D           A :|
|:Hey, hey hey  :|

D
What is it that drives the driven snow now?

    D      A               G             A
Upon whose temples with I rest my weary hopes now?

    D                  A                   G             A
The rain distills down steeples fills the ears of lonely church mice

       D                              G           A          D
With the heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat

|:D           A :|
|:Hey, hey hey  :|
