FLESH AND BLOOD

FLESH AND BLOOD 
by Johnny Cash  
 
C                F
Beside a Singing Mountain Stream 
C
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 
       C
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
