So

Dm find

me a

Am farm

a

Dm wash

F in

the

Am tide

.

Dm Find

me a

F blade

made of

G soft

I’ll be

Dm dressed

in a

F shirt

sewn with

So my

C see

how to

Dm rav

el

Am my

Dm dreams

Dm bone

,

A

Dm year’s

worth of

F food

from one

G pep

percorn

A grown

.

You add

Dm spice

to my

F life

,  said this

C true

love of

Dm mine

.

But

C spice

can go

Am stale

with

Dm time

.

Am
