[Verse 1]
 Em7           G
Somewhere down south of here
           Em7          G   C2
There's a woman with an armload of grass
 D        Em7
Weaving a basket
         D        Em*   A7sus4     C2
That'll float the Rio  Grande
        G            C2
She'll send her baby on it
     G            C2   A7sus4
The river running wild and fast
    D         G
To curry the favor
    D           G    C       A7sus4
Of whatever Pharoah owns the land
 
[Chorus]
 A7sus4*
A seed of an idea
 (Bass G - B - A)
Like mustard greens
 (Bass G - B - A)
Like newborn fingers
 
Curled and half asleep
 G
Awake
 
 Em7
 
[Verse 2]
 Em7               G
From her mouth, a vineyard
    Em7             G   C2
Of swears and hallelujahs entwined
   D           Em7
A new wine is vinted
   D        Em*     A7sus4     C2
A blend of sweet commandment
        G               C2
Oh, to hell with the semantics
     G             C2  A7sus4
The camel and the cable     confide
     D        G
The eye of a needle
    D      G       C2   A7sus4
Is tall enough to stand inside
 
[Chorus]
 A7sus4*
A seed of an idea
 (Bass G - B - A)
Like mustard greens
 (Bass G - B - A)
Like newborn fingers
 
Curled and half asleep
   G
Awake with a thunder
      C2    G
From underneath
        C2      G
Stretch up and reach through
            C2        G
The hardest part of me
 
[Verse 3]
     Em7
May all our tinfoil idols
    G        C2      D
Lay crumpled on the ground
         D        G
And our pre-fab Olympus
   D    G        C2
Divided by the thousand
     G                   C2
Oh, maybe I'm naive for thinking
        G           C2       D
That a mountain so stubborn can move
        D              Em7
But if I'm a mountain moving
         Em7       G
I think maybe you can be, too
