THE WOOD SONG (Emily Saliers)

[G](gu[G]itar[A7sus4] intro)[Asus4][C(9)][D][D5][-][G][C][-][D5][D5][-][G][C][-][D5]
[G] The thin hor[G]izon of a pl[A7sus4]an is almost [A7sus4]clear
[C(9)] My friends and [D]I have had a tough tim[G]e
We're [G]losing our br[G]ains, hard [A7sus4]up against ch[A7sus4]ange
[C(9)] All the old d[D]ogs and the magi[G]cian[G]
Now I see we're in the boat in two by two's
Only the heart we have for a tool we can use
And the very close quarters are hard to get used to
Love weighs the hull down with it's weight
But the wood is [G]tired,[G] and the wood is [A7sus4]old[A7sus4]
And we'll make it [C(9)]fine, [D] if the weather ho[G]lds[G]
But if the weather [G]holds,[G] we'll have missed the [A7sus4]point[A7sus4]
[C(9)]That's where I [D]need to g[G(9)]o[-][G][C][-][D5][D5][-][G][C][-][D5]
No way construction of this tricky plan
Was built by other than a greater hand
With a love that passes all our understading
Watching closely over the journey
Yeah, but what it takes to croos the great divide
Seems all the courage I can muster up inside
But we get to have some answers when we reach the other side
The prize is always worth the rocky ride
But the wood is tired, and the wood is old
And we'll make it fine, if the weather holds
But if the weather holds then we'll have missed the point
[C(9)]That's where I [D]need to g[Em]o[B7][E][E]
[A] Sometimes I [A]ask to sneak a cl[Bm7(4)]oser look[Bm7(4)]
[E] Skip to the [Esus4]final chapter o[A]f the book[A]
And then [A]maybe steer us cl[A]ear from some of the p[Bm7(4)]ain that it to[Bm7(4)]ok
[E] To get us where we [Esus4]are this f[C]ar, [C] this [D]far[D]
[(G)]But the question drowns in its futility
And even I have got to laugh at me
Because no on gets to miss the storm of what will be
Just holding on for the ride
And the wood is tired, and the wood is old
And we'll make it fine if the weather holds
But if the weather holds then we'll have missed the point
That's where I need to go
