Capo 1
A D
Beside a Singin' Mountain Stream
A
Where the Willow grew
D A
Where the Silver Leaf of Maple
B E
Sparkled in the Mornin' Dew
A D
I braided Twigs of Willows
A
Made a String of Buckeye Beads;
D A
But Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood
D A
And you're the one I need
D A
Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood
D A
And you're the one I need.
A D
I leaned against a Bark of Birch
A
And I breathed the Honey Dew
D A
I saw a North-bound Flock of Geese
B A E
Against a Sky of Baby Blue
A D
Beside the Lily Pads
A
I carved a Whistle from a Reed;
D A
Mother Nature's quite a Lady
D A
But you're the one I need
D A
Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood
D A
And you're the one I need.
D
A Cardinal sang just for me
A
And I thanked him for the Song
D A
Then the Sun went slowly down the West
B E
And I had to move along
A D
These were some of the things
A
On which my Mind and Spirit feed;
D A
But Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood
D A
And you're the one I need
D A
Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood
D A
And you're the one I need.
[Spoken]
D
And when the day was ended
A
I was still not satisfied
D A
For I knew ev'rything I touched
B E
Would wither and would die
A D
And Love is all that will remain
A
And grow from all these Seed;
[Sung]
D A
Mother Nature's quite a Lady
D A
But you're the one I need
D A
Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood
D A
And you're the one I need.
