Snow Song © Jon Horne 2006 G D sometimes you are snow G D six sides on a plane G Bm nothing looks like you do Em A7 nor ever will again G D in the company of billions G D just far enough away G Bm from the earth to stop you melting Em A7 in the heat of the day Dmaj7 Bm ..... we are just water anyway Fmaj7 G ..... we are just water anyway G D sometimes you are iron G D from the middle of a sun G Bm thrown out by supernovas Em A7 to the vacant space beyond G D your poles attract another G D and then countless more besides G Bm and you coalesce together Em A7 till you fall, burning, from the sky G D sometimes you are carbon G D in the prehistoric mud G Bm sometimes you are salt Em A7 dissolved in a prophet's blood G D sometimes you are silver G D sometimes you're just tin G Bm but you'll never again be nothing Em A7 and there may not be an end Dmaj7 Bm ..... we are just water anyway Fmaj7 G ..... we are just water anyway A you can waste yourself on whisky Dmaj7 heroin and wine A you can kneel in supplication Dmaj7 or believe yourself divine E you can chase a thousand women A D or give yourself to one Dmaj7 Bm ..... we are just water anyway Fmaj7 G ..... we are just water anyway G D sometimes you are ashes G D in a little pewter jar G Bm taken to the seaside Em A7 and scattered from the pier G D catching the east wind G D and blown back in the face G Bm of your widow and your daughter Em A7 then away without a trace Dmaj7 Bm ..... we are just water anyway Fmaj7 G ..... we are just water anyway 30.3.06
