Flesh And Blood by Johnny Cash
Flesh And Blood
* Capo on the second fret
G C G
Beside a singin' mountain stream where the willow grew
C G A7 D
Where the silver leaf of maple sparkled in the mornin' dew
G C G
I braided twigs of willow, made a string of buckeye beads
C G C G
But flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need
C G C G
Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need
I leaned against the bark of birch and I breathed the honeydew
I saw a northbound flock of geese against a sky of baby blue
Beside the lily pads I carved a whistle from a reed
Mother Nature's quite a lady, but you're the one I need
Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need
Interlude: C and G x4
A cardinal sang just for me and I thanked him for the song
Then the sun went slowly down the west and I had to move along
These were some of the things on which my mind and spirit feed
But flesh and blood needs flesh and blood but you're the one I need
Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need
So, when the day was ended I was still not satisfied
For I knew everything I touched would wither away and die
And love is all that will remain and grow from all these seeds
Mother's Nature's quite a lady, but you're the one I need
Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need
