[VERSE 1]
   Am                                            D
I lay awake til morning, mind racing through the gloom
  C               F           Em            Am
I practice shadow puppets on my side of the room
                                                  D
You softly snore beside me as I make those figures dance
  C               F               Em              Am
Until finally I'm laughing at the random path of chance

[CHORUS]
           F                              G              Am
Think it's time to talk to Joseph,  Gonna pack my little sack
       F                           G              D
There isn't much I really need to wander off the track
         F                         G             Am
I'll be sleeping under ledges and eating what I find
      F                                      G                  D
I'll read the reaching branches, Strum your heartstrings in my mind

[VERSE 2]
              Am                                                  D
I think I'll head on up the north bank, turn left up Campbell's Creek
            C                 F                      Em            Am
There's an old grey man that lives up there and his counsel now I seek
                                                           D
Those twisting nooks and crannies, those hollers dark and deep
     C             F               Em            Am
Are calling to me in my dreams, whenever I can sleep

[CHORUS]
        F                              G              Am
Must be time to talk to Joseph,  Gonna pack my little sack
       F                           G              D
There isn't much I really need to wander off the track
         F                         G             Am
I'll be sleeping under ledges and eating what I find
      F                                      G                  D
I'll read the reaching branches, Strum your heartstrings in my mind

[VERSE 3]
             Am                                          D
There's too many threads to follow and it seems the only way
        C            F             Em           Am
Is to dive into the darkness that leads me into day
                                              D
Don't worry 'bout me darling, I'm comin back again
    C              F                  Em             Am
My spirit will be stronger from God's power deep within

[CHORUS]
          F                              G              Am
It's just time to talk to Joseph,  Gonna pack my little sack
       F                           G              D
There isn't much I really need to wander off the track

I'll read the reaching branches, Strum your heartstrings in my mind
