[Verse]
            Am
For Richard Swift

For John and Bill

For every gift lifted far before its
 will
          Am
Judee and Smith

For Berman too

I’ve met the myth hanging heavy over
 you
            Bm
I loved you long

You rose to go
             Am
Beneath you, songs, perfect angels 
in the snow
           Bm
So time to stage

Forget reserve
            Am
The type of great coronation you 
deserve

[Bridge]
          C         Dadd4
I’m going out for a weekend
          C                  Dadd4
I’m gonna borrow a Martin or Gibson
            C                     
With Either/Or and The Hex for my 
Dadd4
Bookends
         C                      
Carrying every text that you’ve 
Dadd4
given

          G          Am
I’m gonna swim for a week in
      G                  Am
Warm American Water with dear 
friends
         G                    Am
Swimming high on a lea in an eden
        G                          
Running all of the leads you’ve 
  Am
been leaving

[Verse]
        Am
I’m overmatched (for Arthur Russell)

I’m half as wise (Duncan and Curtis)

If this is flat, brother I apologize

(Jimi and David, for Nick and Otis)
        Am
No one alone (For Bell and Buckley)

Can leave the cave (Marvin and Adam)

And all you’ve loaned

won’t be kept inside a grave

(for Arthur Russell, for Arthur 
Russell)

[Chorus]
          G          Am
I’m gonna swim for a week in
      G                  Am
Warm American Water with dear 
friends
       G                      Am
Just intending that I would delight 
them
         G                   Am
Swimming high on a lea in an eden

So I dream    dream

So I dream    dream

[Chorus]
          G          Am
I’m gonna swim for a week in
      G                  Am
Warm American Water with dear 
friends
         G                    Am
Swimming high on a lea in an eden
        G                          
Running all of the leads you’ve 
  Am
been leaving
            G                  
And in your rarified air I feel 
 Am
sunblind
            G                      
I’m looking up at you there high in
 Am
 my mind
     G                        Am
Only way that I made it for a long 
time
        G                          
But I’m loud and alive, singing you
 C        Dadd4
 all night
