Leavings by Joshua Hyslop
Capo on 4
[Intro]
G D A D x2
[Verse 1]
G D
Pull this little thread
A D
And watch it grow and watch it spread
G D
Wider than the dawn
A D
Further in and farther on
G D
Who could comprehend
A D
The path it takes or know its plan?
G D A
Oh, the mystery of what may come
D
And what shall be
[Interlude]
G D A D
Aahh
G D A D
Aahh
[Verse 2]
G D
Hear the waves crash down
A D
As they shape the shore and in their sound
G D
Each one lives its life
A D
In its own way, in its own time
G D
And would you say to them
A D
Hold your tongues? Or come not hence?
G D
To live a life that's free
A
Is to sing and dance
D
In the melody
[Interlude]
G D A D
Oohh
G D A D
Oohh
[Verse 3]
G D
Now I understand
A D
That there are dreams and there are plans
G D
And some shall see the light
A D
But there are those that will pass by
G D
So I've come to hope
A D
Though I can't say and I can't know
G D
That in the end I'll be
A
With the friends I know
D
And who know me
[Outro]
G D A D
Oohh
G D A D
Oohh
