Verse 1

A
Do you still sing of the mountain bed

we made of limbs and leaves?
Do you still sigh there near the sky

where the holly berry bleeds?

You laughed as I covered
Em
G
Face, breast, hips, and thighs
D
C
Em
G
You smiled when I said the leaves were just the color of your

eyes

Verse 2
D

Rosin smells and turpentine smells
Bitter tastes of twigs we chewed where

tangled wood vines twine

Trees held us in on all four sides
Em

so thick we could not see
D
C
Em
I could not see any wrong in you,
G

and you saw none in me

Verse 3
D
A
Your arm was brown against the ground,
G
your cheeks part of the sky
Your fingers played with grassy moss,
D
A
as limber you did lie
Bm
G
Your stomach moved beneath your shirt
Em
G
and your knees were in the air
D
C
Your feet played games with mountain
Em
G
D
roots as you lay thinking there
Verse 4
D
A
Below us the trees grew clumps of trees,
G
raised families of trees, and they
As proud as we tossed their heads in the
D
A
wind and flung good seeds away
Bm
G
The sun was hot and the sun was bright
Em
G
down in the valley below
D
C
Where people starved and hungry for
G
D
life so empty come and go
Verse 5
D
A
There in the shade and hid from the sun we
G
Em
G
freed our minds and learned
Our greatest reason for being here,
D
A
our bodies moved and burned
Bm
G
There on our mountain bed of leaves
Em
G
we learned life's reason why
D
C
The people laugh and love and dream,
G
D
they fight, they hate to die
Verse 6
D
A
The smell of your hair I know is still there,
G
if most of our leaves are blown
Our words still ring in the brush and the trees
D
A
where singing seeds are sown
Bm
G
Your shape and form is dim but plain,
Em
G
there on our mountain bed
D
C
Em
G
I see my life was brightest where you laughed

Verse 7
D
A
I learned the reason why man must work
G
D
G
and how to dream big dreams
To conquer time and space and
D
A
fight the rivers and the seas
Bm
G
I stand here filled with my emptiness
Em
G
now and look at city and land
D
C
G
And I know why farms and cities are built by hot,
Verse 8
D
A
I crossed many states just to stand here now,
I crossed city, and valley, desert,
D
A
and stream, to bring my body here
Bm
G
My history and future blaze bright
Em
G
in me and all my joy and pain
D
C
Go through my head on our mountain
G
bed where I smell your hair again.

Verse 9
D
A
All this day long I linger here and
Bm
G
on in through the night
My greed's, desires, my cravings,
D
A
hopes, my dreams inside me fight
Bm
G
My loneliness healed, my emptiness filled,
Em
G
I walk above all pain
D
C
Back to the breast of my woman and child
G
D
to scatter my seeds again
