This is how I play the song. Suggestions and corrections welcome!
Em D Em D Em
C
If I look
Bm
or if I don't look
Em D
clouds are always passing over
C
the place I live.
C
C
The place I live
Bm
passing under
Em D
my feet while my mind wanders
C
in a sea of fog.
C
C
On a ridge
Bm
seeing through a hole in the fog
("A thought out of nowhere comes passing through")
C
I say to myself
("I say to myself, like a voice on the wind")
Em
"Behold"
D
("But I")
C
but I see nothing.
Bm
Rocks and water and wood
Em
not speaking to me.
("Left alone to wander above")
D
Slow and uneasy and alive.
C
("The sea of fog")
C
Bm
I mean the place lives
C
and clouds pass over
("sitting on a ridge and watching clouds pass over")
Em
the landscape
D
a blanket on stone
("where an ocean of glaciers rolled")
C
Land waves are rolling.
Bm
("Through a fog, this is a brief life.")
("Short and cold, momentarily.")
("A life as brief as the morning fog")
C
Momentarily,
G
I come out from under.
