Verse 1 chords:
D6                      GHigh water carried her down stream
D6                      GShe watched the water's living things
D6                       GShe thought, it's not a mound with six planks of wood

G*Or a mountain where a shed self could

Verse 3: (use verse 1 chords)
Rolled like a felled tree with arms as useless as such
Death's panic came, a calmness stayed, you couldn't do much
Just watch the water chip away at the bank eroding
Cut and crumbling through the spate


Verse 4 chords:
D6                     GIt took a father, it covered his daughter
         D6          GTook her down, down, down
         D6              With the glass bottles, books, a tire
          G                  D6Collected hair tufts in the weeds
                                             G       DSnagged and wrapped in the peats dammed and trapped


Chorus Chords: (repeat x3)
D                       You said, is this the ceremony?
                           GI don't know, well I don't mind

The way we all fall in and roll down
                                        DPushed through the veins and trafficked byes
                                                        GAnd when your ears sit underhead is half submerged down below
                                                          DPooling all accounts of peace while passed beneath the canopy glow
    G            D           Gcanopy glow, canopy glow, canopy glow
