follow you down to the red oak tree
       G                          Am       Em
as the air moves thick through the hollow reeds
        Am                      C             Em

i have stole from men who have stole from those
            Am                    C           Em
with their arms so thin and their skin so old

     Bm                        C       G

              Bm                          C       G
as though we could not be saved from the depth of the well
         Am                     C           Em
but the cloth that i make is a cloth you can sell
   C                D
to pay for the gossamer seed


Em                       C      Em
names get carved in the red oak tree
       G                     Am        Em
of the ones who stay and the ones who leave
       Am                            C              Em
