FLESH AND BLOOD

by Johnny Cash

C                F

Beside a Singing Mountain Stream

Where the Willow grew

          F              C

Where the Silver Leaf of Maple

         D7             G7

Sparkled in the Morning Dew

  C                F

I braided Twigs of Willows

Made a String of Buckeye Beads

    F                    C

But Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood

    F                C

And you're the one I need

F                    C

Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood

    F                C

And you're the one I need

I leaned against a Bark of Birch

And I breathed the Honey Dew

I saw a North-bound 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 need Flesh And Blood

And you're the one I need

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 need Flesh And Blood

And you're the one I need

Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood

And you're the one I need

SPOKEN

So when this Day was ended

I was still not satisfied

For I knew everything I touched

Would wither and would die

And Love is all that will remain

And grow from all these Seed;

F                       C

Mother Nature's quite a Lady

    F                C

But you're the one I need

F                    C

Flesh And Blood need Flesh And Blood

    F                C

And you're the one I need
