Bearing Witness

G C G C


[Verse]

G                     C
And so it comes to an end
G                       C             Am     G
And everything that you thought turns out to be
G                     C
Feathers borne on the wind
G                    C            Am
Bearing witness that gravity will win
Am                            Am
And take you for a spin


[Pre-Chorus]

D       D       C        G
They're bearing witness to
D   D     C           C
The water bleaches it out of you
D    D         C      G
The cleansing showers fall
D           D   G C G C
They're falling, falling


[Chorus]

C      G           G    C
Lay me down in the bulrushes
C       G           G    C
Send me down, down to the sea
C        G       G    C
Float me on this raging river
C         G      G   C
Leave me just my memory


[Verse]

C              D
Now I start to see
D            C
Just as it's ending
C           Am
The river is bending
C               G C G C
And drowning me
G                      C
The snow that falls in December
G            C           Am       G
Could be the rain in the Gulf of Mexico
G                       C
And though I know I'm a sinner
G                       C             Am
I'm still an angel when I get back to home
Am                Am
Where I can do no wrong


[Pre-Chorus]

D       D       C        G
They're bearing witness to
D   D     C           C
The water bleaches it out of you
D    D         C      G
The cleansing showers fall
D           D   G C G C
They're falling, falling


[Chorus]

C      G           G    C
Lay me down in the bulrushes
C       G           G    C
Send me down, down to the sea
C        G       G    C
Float me on this raging river
C         G      G   C
Leave me just my memory


[Verse]

              D
Now I start to see
D            C
Just as it's ending
C           Am
The river is bending
C               G C G C
And drowning me
            G  C G C
Drowning me


[Chorus]

C      G           G    C
Lay me down in the bulrushes
C       G           G    C
Send me down, down to the sea
C        G       G    C
Float me on this raging river
C         G      G   C
Leave me just my memory
            G  C
Lay me down
            G  C
Lay me down
