[Verse 1]
Em C G B Em C F Mother as I write the sun dissolves Em C G B Blood life streaming cross my hand Em C F And these words, these words Em C G B Hope dashed immortal hope Em C F Hope streaking the canvas sky
[Chorus]
G Em D C Am G C D Blue poles infinitely winding, as I write, as I write[x2]
[Verse 2]
Em C G B We joined the long caravan Em C F Hungry dreaming going west Em C G B Just for work just to get a job Em C And we never got lucky F We just forged on Em C G B And the dust the endless dust Em C F Like a plague it covered everything Em C G B Hal fell with the fever Em C F And mother I did what I could
[Chorus]
G Em D C Am G C D Blue poles infinitely winding, as I write, as I write[x2]
[Verse 3]
Em C G B We prayed we prayed for rain Em C F G Em D C Am G C D I never wanted to see the sun again Em C G B All my dresses you made by hand Em C F We left behind on the road Em C G B Hal died in my arms Em C F We buried him by the river
[Chorus]
G Em D C Am G C D Blue poles infinitely winding, as I write, as I write[x2] D G I write
