Tapestry

G      G/F#            Em       
Every thread of creation is held
          Am7
 in position
     C                          
by still other strands of things 
  D
living.
G      G/F#            Em
In an earthly tapestry hung from the
 skyline
Am7                         C
of smouldering cities so gray and so
 vulgar,
G      G/F#                       
as not to be satisfied with their 
Em
own negativity
Am7             C              D
but needing to touch all the 
         G
living as well.

[Verse 2]

G      G/F#            Em       
Every breeze that blows kindly 
          Am7
is one crystal breath
     C                       
we exhale on the blue diamond 
     D
heaven.
G      G/F#            Em       
As gentle to touch as the hands 
          Am7
of the healer.
Am7                         C
As soft as farewells whispered over 
the coffin.
G      G/F#            Em       
We’re poisoned by venom with 
          Am7
each breath we take,

Am7             C              D
from the brown sulphur chimney 
         G
and the black highway snake.

[Verse 3]

G      G/F#            Em       
Every dawn that breaks golden is
          Am7
 held in suspension
     C                            D
like the yoke of the egg in albumen.
G      G/F#            Em       
Where the birth and the death of
          Am7
 unseen generations
Am7                      
are interdependent in vast 
   C
orchestration
G      G/F#            Em       
and painted in colors of 
       Am7
tapestry thread.
Am7             C              D
When the dying are born and the 
         G
living are dead.

[Verse 4]

G      G/F#            Em       
Every pulse of your heartbeat is
          Am7
 one liquid moment
     C                            
that flows through the veins of your
D
 being.
G      G/F#            Em       
Like a river of life flowing on 
          Am7
since creation.
Am7                         C
Approaching the sea with each new 
generation.
G      G/F#            Em  
You’re now just a stagnant and 
               Am7
rancid disgrace
Am7             C              D
that is rapidly drowning the 
         G
whole human race.

[Verse 5]

G      G/F#            Em       
Every fish that swims silent, 
          Am7
every bird that flies freely,
     C                     D
every doe that steps softly.
G      G/F#            Em       
Every crisp leaf that falls, all
          Am7
 the flowers that grow
Am7                         C
on this colourful tapestry, somehow 
they know.
G      G/F#            Em       
That if man is allowed to 
          Am7
destroy all they need.
Am7             C              D
He will soon have to pay with 
         G
his life, for his greed.
