[Intro/Outro]x2
[Verse]:
Dm C
I was lost in the Lakes
G7 Fsus4
And the shapes that your body makes
Dm C
That your body makes, that your body makes
G7 Fsus4
That your body makes
[Bridge]x2
[Verse]:
Dm C
And the mountains said I could find you here
G7 Fsus4
They whispered the snow and the leaves in my ear
Dm C
I traced my finger along your trails
G7 Fsus4
Your body was the map, I was lost in it
[Chorus]x2
F C
Floating over your rocky spine
G7 Fsus4
The glaciers made you, and now you're mine
F C
Floating over your rocky spine
G7 Fsus4
The glaciers made you, and now you're mine
[Intro/Outro]x2
[Verse]:
Dm C
I was moving across your frozen veneer
G7 Fsus4
The sky was dark but you were clear
Dm C
Could you feel my footsteps?
G7 Fsus4
And would you shatter, would you shatter, would you?
And with your soft fingers between my claws
Like purity against resolve
Dm C
I could tell then and there we were formed from the clay
G7 Fsus4
And came from the rocks for the earth to display
Dm C
They told me to be careful up there
G7 Fsus4
Where the wind blows a venomous rage through your hair
Dm C
They told me to be careful up there
G7 Fsus4
Where the wind rages through your hair
[Intro/Outro]x2

[README]:
I won't pretend this follows the song verbatim, but it can serve as a platform
to play around with. The intro/outro attempts to capture the flair of the banjo
while staying true to the role of rhythm guitar. While on the topic, I'm not
sure that the Fsus4 [113311] I have listed is correct; rather, the chord may
actually be A#Mag7/F [132311].
Please comment or e-mail me if you have suggestions to improve this tab.
