(((For the verse, play the same thing, but palm mute when you play the D5)))
I'm made of bones of the branches, the boughs, and the brow-beating light
Oh, my feet are the trunks and my head is the canopy high
F5
And my fingers extend to the leaves and the eaves and the bright
G5 F5
Brightest shine, it's my shine
(((Intro riff x2)))
And he was a baby, abandoned entombed in a cradle of clay
And I was the soul that took pity and stole him away
F5
And gave him the form of a fawn to inhabit by day
G5 F5
Brightest day, it's my day
(((Intro riff x4 over piddling around on guitar. I'm not tabbing this)))
(((Verse riff x2)))
And you have removed this temptation that's troubled my innocent child
To abduct and abuse and to render her rift and defiled
F5
But the river is deep to the banks and the water is wild
G5 F5
But I will fly you to the far side
(((Intro riff x4, again over noodling)))
