Seaweed

Em/G Em/F# Em

[Verse 1]
      Em/G      Em/F#           Em
Our daughter is one and a half
Em/G          Em/F#            Em
You have been dead eleven days

[Chorus]
  C/G                    D/F#
I got on the boat and came to the 
place
          Em/G              Em/F# 
Where the three of us were going 
    Em
to build our house
          Em/G       Em/F#     Em
If you had lived
     C/G
You died though
      D/F#
So I came here alone

[Verse 2]
         Em/G       Em/F#     Em
with our baby and the dust of your 
bones

[Chorus]
            C/G D/F#          
I can't remember, were you into 
     Em/G     Em/F#   Em
Canada geese?

         C/G           D/F#
Is it significant
        Em/G       Em/F#      E
These hundreds on the beach?

[Verse 3]
      Em/G   Em/F#      E
Or were they just hungry
    Em/G   Em/F#      E
For mid-migration seaweed?

[Chrous]
            C/G       D/F#
What about foxgloves
         Em/G          Em/F#      Em
Is that a flower you liked?
          C/G        D/F#
I can't remember
                Em/G       Em/F#  
You did most of my remembering for
      Em
 me

[Verse 4]
        Em/G    Em/F#      Em
And now I stand untethered
Em/G     Em/F#           Em
In a field full of wild foxgloves

[Chorus]
               C/G            D/F#
Wondering if you're there
                      Em/G    
Or if a flower means anything
Em/F#      Em

                  C/G              
And what could anything mean
D/F#

                 Em/G    Em/F#    
In this crushing absurdity
  Em


[Verse 5]
Em/G        Em/A           Em/B
I brought a chair from home
Em/G        Em/A           Em/B
I'm leaving it on the hill
Em/G        Em/A           Em/G
Facing west and north
Em/G        Em/A           Em/G
And I poured out your ashes on it
Em/G        Em/A           Em/G
I guess so you can watch the sunset
Em/G           Em/A              
But the truth is I don't think of
     Em/G
 that dust as you
Em/G        Em/A           Em/G
             C/G
You are the sunset
