Ode To Bamboo

Tuning is EADGCC 

C          C        F       Em 
what will i do with you, my dear 
C         C           G 
of me you have made a fool 
F       F     Em  Am 
life is but a lullaby 

so i shall sing you one final tune 

     C          C           F        Em 
for again we'll meet in the potter's field 
    C          C          G 
and i'll repay all that i owe 
       F     F    Em       Am 
at the mercy of a vengeful heart

C          C     G 
down to my hairy chin
