Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 Three hits to the heart son

 And it's poetry in motion

 One could send you down the river

 Three's a strange way to be delivered

 Would you trade your words for freedom

 That's a barter for a blind man

 Three hits to the heart son

 And it's poetry in motion

[5-bar solo]

 Are you leveed like a treasure

 Only words can help me find you

 And this world's a fickle measure

 I will painfully remind you

 From a wise man to your red hand

 You lay covered in our best sins

 Three hits to the heart son

 And it's poetry in motion [extra bar]

[9-bar solo]

 Well I dream you constant stranger

 With your best bloods and your anger

 You say mother do you claim me

 My beloved do you blame me

 Well the first two might release you

 But the last one sings in me son [drum beats]

 Three hits to the heart son

 And it's poetry in motion

 Three hits to the heart son [slowing]

 And the last one sings in me
