A
Sold my cold knot
F#m       E
A heavy stone
A                 F#m            E
Sold my red horse for a venture home
To vanish on the bow -
           D
Settling slow
                             F#m
Fit it all, fit it in the doldrums
(Or so the story goes)
 D
Color the era
               F#m
Film it's historical
Ahh, ahh, ahh

My mile could not
Pump the plumb
In my arbor 'til my ardor trumped
Every inner inertia, lump sum
All at once
Rushing from the sump pump
Or so the story goes
Balance we won't know
We will see when it gets warm
Ahh, ahh, ahh
