(Intro.)
|(C) / / / |(Em) / / / |(D) / / / |(Em) / / / |(Em) / /
(Verse)
The cry of the (Em)hawk, and the (B)morning (Am)dove
The redwing (D)blackbird, all (B)sing-(D)ing for (Em)love
They mark their (Em)land, (B)catch their (Am)prey
Feed their (D)babies, for an-(B)other day (D) (Em)
I could (Am)feel that free, (D)here on the ground
(Em)If I (Am)just release, this (D)burden to which I’m bound
(Chorus)
My seeds and (Em)bones, seeds and (Am)bones
What (D)do we carry with us, what do we (Em)bury on the road
Seeds and (Em)bones, seeds and (Am)bones
(D) What do we carry, what do we (Em)bury on the road
(Solo)
|(C) / / / |(Em) / / / |(D) / (B)(D)|(Em) / / / |
(Verse)
What do we (Em)gather, when we’re (B)called to (Am)leave
Flames of di-(D)saster, licking (B)at (D)our (Em)heels
Should I take my (Em)anger, my (B)righteous (Am) need
All overgrown (D) with my (B)belief (Em)
Is there (Am)room for the (C#)promise (Em) that (D)I must keep (Em)
I (Am)may not see the (C#)harvest, (Em) but (D)my children will reap
(Chorus)
My seeds and (Em)bones, seeds and (Am)bones
What (D)do we carry with us, what do we (Em)bury on the road
(Spoken)
(Am) I picked a fruit that was offered me
(Em) I ate it whole and kept the seeds
(Am) To scatter with me when I leave
(Em) To see what sticks and what wants to be
(C) In fertile soil or blown by desert wind
(G) We find the place we can start again
(D) All I carry is in the palm of my hand
(Em) These seeds of hope for another land
(Solo)

(Chorus)
My (D)seeds and (Em)bones, seeds and (Am)bones
What (D)do we carry with us, what do we (Em)bury on the road
(D) Seeds and (Em)bones, seeds (Am) and bones
(D) What do we carry, (Em) what do we bury on the road
(Chorus)
My (D)seeds and (Em)bones, now seeds (Am) and bones
(D) What do we carry, (Em) what do we bury
(D) Seeds and (Em)bones, now seeds (Am) and bones
(D) What do we carry, (Em) what do we bury
(Outro.)
(D) Seeds and (Em)bones, now seeds (Am) and bones
(D) What do we carry, what do we (Em)bury on the road - - - - -
