Bayou

	  		Intro: Am  D  Em  D  (x4) 

Verse: 1 
Am     D 
Deep drum 
                  Em 
Hear her sing and light 

and making forward 
         D 
from the water ways 

and all's just waking up 

Am     D 
I break 
          Em 
for it to lighten up these worries 
        D 
Lighten up these walls 

to feel the depth too 

Pre-Chorus 
Am 
Feel my body open now and clear 
D 
Feel my body moving 
                           Em 
to the pulse of the outer wake 
    D 
Oh, I knew I had to get through 
Am 
I've been in the carbon lines and haze 
D 
Where everybody's off 
                                       Em 
when they're on, when they're on their way 
    D 
Oh, I just want to get through mh mh 

Verse: 2 
Am   D 
I find 
            Em 
open up the hours 
                              D 
and the whole thing starts to follow 

It won't hollow me today 
Am    D 
I wait for it 
   Em 
to lighten up be honest 
         D 
Bring me straight deep down, 

no telling me to 

Pre-Chorus:  
Am 
Looking at the open skies and truths 
      D 
where everybody's under the sun 
              Em 
It's the only way, hey 
D 
Honest eyes come through my friend 
Am 
Yes signs are in the air I drew 
D 
Feel my body moving to the pulse 
              Em 
of the outer wake 
    D 
Oh, I can really feel it coming through 


Am                                D 
Bayou and the beating drum, bayou bayou 

Bayou and the beating 
Em 
Bayou and the beating drum 
  D 
Bayou 
C 
Did you hear the old one hum? Bayou 
Em 
Underneath the evening sun, bayou 
D 
Bayou and the beating drum 
  D 
Bayou 


Post-Chorus 
      Am          D           Em          D 
Uh uh uh.   Uh uh uh.   Uh uh uh.   Uh uh uh... 
      Am          D           Em          D 
Uh uh uh.   Uh uh uh.   Uh uh uh.   Uh uh uh... 

Verse: 3 
Am    D 
I praise 
             Em 
I get in and all I hear's the honest call 
    D 
the resonance, the sounds so deep and tame 
Am   D 
A wait 
          Em 
for it to lighten up be honest 
         D 
Bring it straight deep down 

and feel the depth too 

Pre-Chorus 
Am 
Feel the body singing loud and clear 
D 
Feel the body rolling to the pulse 
               Em 
that's been underway, oh 
    D 
The waves are coming you way 
Am 
And on the water drifting proud, serene 
D 
I tell you I belong to be out 
               Em 
and go all the way, oh 

Bridge 
D 
When I fall, I fall 
D 
It's the land that makes me tall 
D 
I could run, I could run to my hearts call 
D 
I feel heavier, heavier from it all 
D 
I can hear the ancient sounds of... 


Am                                D 
Bayou and the beating drum, bayou bayou 

Bayou and the beating

Bayou and the beating drum 
  D 
Bayou 
C 
Did you hear the old one hum? Bayou 
Em 
Underneath the evening sun, bayou 
D 
Bayou and the beating drum 
  D
