"Flesh And Blood"

D                G
Beside a singing mountain stream
D
Where the willow grew
          G              D
Where the silver leaf of maple
         E              A
Sparkled in the morning dew
     D                G
I've braided twigs of willow
       D
Made a string of buckeye beads
    G                     D
But flesh and blood needs flesh and blood
    G                D
And you're the one I need
G                     D
Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood
    G                D
And you're the one I need

  D                  G
I leaned against the bark of birch
      D
And I breathed the honey dew
        G                    D
I saw a North-bound flock of geese
          E           A
Against a sky of baby blue
  D             G
Beside the many paths
           D
I carved a whistle from a reed
G                       D
Mother Nature's quite a lady
    G                D
But you're the one I need
G                     D
Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood
    G                D
And you're the one I need
G - D x4
  D             G
A cardinal sang just for me
      D
And I thanked him for the song
         G               D
Then the sun went slowly down in the west
      E             A
And I had to move along
D                      G
These were some of the things
            D
On which my mind and spirit feed
       G                D
Mother Nature's quite a lady
    G                D
But you're the one I need
G                     D
Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood
    G                D
And you're the one I need
   D                G
So when the day was ended
      D
I was still not satisfied
    G                   D
For I knew everything I touched
      E                A
Would wither and would die
    D                     G
And love is all that will remain
    D
And grow from all these seeds
       G                D
Mother Nature's quite a lady
    G                D
But you're the one I need
G                     D
Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood
    G                D
And you're the one I need
