  Each of these my

G         C/G 
  Three babies I

G      C/G         G 
  Will carry with me

G       C/G
  For myself I 

G          C/G            
Ask no one else will be

G   C/G                 G    
  Mother to these three

G        C/G
  And of course I’m 

G           C/G
Like a wild horse but there’s

G         C/G           G
No other way I could be

G         C/G
Water and feed are not

G             C/G
Tools that I need for the

G                 C/G        G
Thing that I've chosen to be
[Chorus 1]
G       C/G  D/A 
  In my soul my

G             C/G    D/A
Blood and my bones I have

G                               C/G    
Wrapped your cold bodies around me, oh-ohhh

G     C/G     D/A       
  The face on you

G     C/G      D/A    
  The smell of you

G        C/G           G
  Will always be with me
[Verse 2]
G         C/G
  Each of these my

G         C/G
  Three babies I

G         C/G              G
  Was not willing to leave

G          C/G
  Though I tried 

      G            C/G
I blasphemed and denied

       G            C/G            G
I know they will be returned to me

G         C/G
  Each of these

 G   C/G
My babies have

G             C/G          G
  Brought you closer to me

          G           C/G
No longer mad like a horse

          G             C/G
I'm still wild but not lost

         G                 C/G        G
From the thing that I've chosen to be
[Chorus 2]
         G              C/G      D/A
And it's, 'cause you've thrilled me

G            C/G     D/A
Silenced me, stilled me

G                         C/G            
Proved things I never believed oh-ohhh

G     C/G     D/A       
  The face on you

G     C/G      D/A    
  The smell of you

G        C/G           G
  Will always be with me
