Verse I
Am C Fmaj7 Dm (riff)
The black figure of my body above your window as youre dreaming
Am C F Am G
I came to wake you and take you up north
Am C Fmaj7 Dm (riff)
The yard was wet, the heavens forget the way things are seeming
Am C F
For us who must stumble in yards dark as horses
Am F Am G G7
Am C Famj7 Dm (riff)
Your dream went like this, John the Bap-tist came back vapor veiled
Am C F Am G
With grand expec-tations for what he had started
Am C Fmaj7 Dm (riff)
And you couldnt res-ist, you gave him the gist about how things failed
Am G F
And how all but one fire-heart had departed
Chorus
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/f/frontier_ruckus/the_blood_tab.html ]
Em F Am G G7
And that you were her, and you were sure
Am C
That you had the Blood, that you had the Blood
G F
That all is made of
Dm C
And that is alright, that is alright
Em F G G7
I cannot think of a better dove
Am
To carry the Blood
C Fmaj7 Dm(riff) Am C Fmaj7 Dm (riff)
Verse II
Am C Fmaj7 Dm (riff)
The canal was bright, its innards ignite when moon stretches tight
Am C F Am G
To show the cargo the floating is gliding
Am C Fmaj7 Dm (riff)
The edges are dark, its channeled by bark, it carries the mark
Am G F
Of every speckle of guilt I was hiding
Am F Am G G7
Verse III
Am C
The bathroom does taste of menstruation
Fmaj7 Dm (riff)
chasing night-musk through window screen
Am C F Am G
Like wounded doves all pretty things bleed
Am C Fmaj7 Dm
Like my highway dream, Judas re-deemed for the one kiss he rode on
Am G F
Our spirits ride canals and never in deeds
Verse IV
Em F Am G G7
Deeds do go, and deeds do not
Am C
Carry the Blood, carry the Blood
G F
That all is made of
Dm C
Carry it right, all through the night
Em F G G7
Till you see what we are of a dove
Am
that carries the Blood
C Fmaj7 Dm(riff) Am C Fmaj7 Dm Am
