Remember The Mountain Bed

Capo on 3rd fret
	  		



D                        A               G                               
Do you still sing of the mountain bed we made of limbs and leaves? 
                                               D           A 
Do you still sigh there near the sky where the holly berry bleeds? 
    Bm                      G 
You laughed as I covered you over with leaves 
 Em                    G 
Face, breast, hips and thighs 
D                          C           Em       G             D 
You smiled when I said the leaves were just the color of your eyes 

D                        A               G                               
Rosin smells and turpentine smells from eucalyptus and pine 
                                               D           A 
Bitter tastes of twigs we chewed where tangled woodbines twine 
    Bm                      G 
Trees held us in on all four sides 
    Em                      G 
so thick we could not see 
D                          C           Em       G             D 
I could not see any wrong in you, and you saw none in me 

D                        A               G                               
Your arm was brown against the ground, your cheeks part of the sky 
                                               D           A 
Your fingers played with grassy moss, as limber you did lie 
    Bm                      G 
Your stomach moved beneath your shirt 
    Em                      G 
and your knees were in the air 
D                          C           Em       G             D 
Your feet played games with mountain roots as you lay thinking there 

D                        A               G                               
Below us the trees grew clumps of trees raised families of trees, and they 
                                               D           A 
As proud as we tossed their heads in the 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           Em       G             D 
Where people starved and hungry for life so empty come and go 

D                        A               G                               
There in the shade and hid from the sun we free'd our minds and learned 
                                               D           A 
Our greatest reason for being here, our bodies moved and burned 
    Bm                      G 
There on our mountain bed of leaves 
    Em                      G 
we learned life's reason why 
D                          C           Em       G             D 
People laugh and love and dream, they fight and they hate to die 

D                        A               G                               
The smell of your hair I know is still there, if most of our leaves are blown 
                                               D           A 
Our words still ring in the brush and the trees 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             D 
I see my life was brightest where you laughed and laid your head 

D                        A               G                               
I learned the reason why man must work and how to dream big dreams 
                                               D           A 
To conquer time and space and fight the rivers and the seas 
    Bm                      G 
I stand here filled with my emptiness now 
    Em                      G 
and look at city and land 
D                          C           Em       G             D 
I know why farms and cities are built by hot warm nervous hands 

D                        A               G                               
I've crossed many states just to stand here now, my face all hot with tears 
                                               D           A 
I've crossed city and valley, desert and stream to bring my body here 
    Bm                      G 
My history and future blaze bright in me 
    Em                      G 
and all my joy and pain 
D                          C           Em       G             D 
Go through my head on our mountain bed where I smell your hair again 

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