———————
E5 G D C(9)
[intro]
E G
Three hits to the heart son
D C(9)
And it’s poetry in motion
E G
One could send you down the river
D C(9)
Three’s a strange way to be delivered
G D
Would you trade your words for freedom
G C(9)
That’s a barter for a blind man
E G
Three hits to the heart son
D C(9)
And it’s poetry in motion
E G D C(9) C(9)
[5-bar solo]
E G
Are you leveed like a treasure
D C(9)
Only words can help me find you
E G
And this world’s a fickle measure
D C(9)
I will painfully remind you
G D
From a wise man to your red hand
G C(9)
You lay covered in our best sins
E G
Three hits to the heart son
D C(9) C(9)
And it’s poetry in motion [extra bar]

Well I dream you constant stranger

With your best bloods and your anger

You say mother do you claim me
D C(9)
My beloved do you blame me
G D
Well the first two might release you
G C(9) C(9)
But the last one sings in me son [drum beats]
