[Verse]
F#              B
Somewhere down South of here
           D#m           F#          B
There's a woman with an armload of grass
C#              D#m
Weaving a basket
C#       F#       G#m   B
That'll float the Rio Grande
         F#                     B
She'll send her baby on it
    F#               B       G#m
The river running wild and fast
    C#            F#
To curry the favor
   C#            B           G#m
Of whatever pharaoh owns the land

Gsus4

[Chorus]

G#4
A seed of an idea
        G#sus   G#4
Like mustard greens
     C#          G#m
Like newborn fingers
Continues after the ad
G#                     C#
Curled and half asleep
F#
Awake

[Verse 2]
F#
From her mouth, a vineyard
   D#m                 F#      B
Of swears and hallelujahs entwined
C#                    D#m  G#m
A new wine is vinted
   D#         D#m    G#          B
A blend of sweet commandment
B       F#
Oh, to hell with the semantics
      D#m              G#m
The camel and the cable confide
    C#m       B
The eye of a needle
    F#             B       G#m
Is tall enough to stand inside

G#m

[Chorus]
G#4
A seed of an idea
        G#sus   G#4
Like mustard greens
     C#             G#m
Like newborn fingers
G#                     C#
Curled and half asleep
F#                               D#m B
Awake with a thunder from underneath
                                    F#
Stretch up and reach through
                                     D#m
The hardest part of me

B F#

    D#m
May all our tinfoil idols
      F#             C#
Lay crumpled on the ground
          B     F#
And our prefab Olympus
D#m     B       F#
Divided by the thousand
      F#                  B
Oh, maybe I'm naive for thinking
       D#m           C#          F#
That a mountain so stubborn can move
          C#            G#m
But if I'm a mountain moving
          F#       B       F#
I think maybe you can be, too
