Verse 1 chords:
D6                      G
High water carried her down stream
D6                      G
She watched the water's living things
D6                       G
She thought, it's not a mound with six planks of wood
D6
The cardinal points to hold you up
G*
Or a mountain where a shed self could


Verse 2 chords: (repeat x2)
D6                           G
Feed the roots and honor the tongues of the animals
D6                      G
Drift into the moss and bloat where the peat bog pulls

Verse 3: (use verse 1 chords)
Rolled like a felled tree with arms as useless as such
Death's panic came, a calmness stayed, you couldn't do much
Just watch the water chip away at the bank eroding
Cut and crumbling through the spate


Verse 4 chords:
D6                     G
It took a father, it covered his daughter
         D6          G
Took her down, down, down
         D6              
With the glass bottles, books, a tire
          G                  D6
Collected hair tufts in the weeds
                                             G       D
Snagged and wrapped in the peats dammed and trapped


Chorus Chords: (repeat x3)
D                       
You said, is this the ceremony?
                           G
I don't know, well I don't mind

The way we all fall in and roll down
                                        D
Pushed through the veins and trafficked byes
                                                        G
And when your ears sit underhead is half submerged down below
                                                          D
Pooling all accounts of peace while passed beneath the canopy glow
    G            D           G
canopy glow, canopy glow, canopy glow
