Verse 1

To [F#m11]be,
A [E]bee, a moth.
[F#m11]Four wings spread for the soft last touch[E]
Of glory [A]sun,
Remembering blood [E]plums and lips and [A]lemons -
One hundred different [E]suns
In a hundred different [D]heavens.
[F]Spied from a row[A]boat -

Chorus

[D#m]Stroke, [G]nought is [G#m]spoken,
Be[A]fore you [D#m]know it, the [G]spell is [E]broken,
[D]You might wonder [E]where you are,
[A]Floating [D#m]on the [G]reser[F#m11]voir.
Verse 2

Oh I have [E]counted the notes
We [F#m11]landed here not many years ago
And it was not a pretty [E]song that we com[A]posed:
La, la, la, the [E]early bird he knows,
You hang from the [A]cherry bough
When you're lichen [D]yourself, and [F]leave -

Chorus

The [A]cold cold [D#m]scent of [G]stone and [F#m]mulch,
[A]Great [D#m]stone wall to [G]stave the r[E]ush,
To [D]think that peace might [E]be too much,
[A]Waiting [D#m]for that [C]gian[B]t

Verse 3

The [F#m11]lake... the [E]fir-fringed lake -
[F#m11]Placid and ample, birded, breezed and dappled
Through the [E]mountain break,
Through the mountain [A]break,
A mom[E]ent take, a mome[A]nt, a mom[D]ent..[F].

Bridge

[A]You might wonder where you are,
[D#m]Perched up on the reservoir,
[G]Adolf in the white hotel,
[A]All this time we've been in hell,
[A]You might [D#m]wonder [G]where you [F#m]are,
[A]Perched a[D#m]bove the [G]reser[F#m]voir,
[D]Luis of the [E]lake retire,

Outro

Be[A]fore they [D#m]set the [D]lake on [A]fire
Be[A]fore they [E]set the [D]lake on [A]fire
Be[A]fore they [E]set the [C]lake [B]on [F#m11]fire

F#m E (repeat to fade)
