Leaf Piece

Bb C Am Dm Bb C Dm Bb C Dm I'm clinging on to my homeland Bb C Dm My fingers clawing earth, peat and sand Bb C My back's still hurting bad Am Dm But my eyes are still attached Bb C Dm To a vivid dream of lousing times Bb C And the promise of my leaf piece Am Dm In the furrows of my back Bb C Dm And in my laughter lines C Bb F Dm 2x C Bb F Dm I hear the songs my father sang C Bb F Dm But I have but half the voice he had C Bb F Dm I keep it harnessed rein it in C Bb F Dm Until the sun it melts on the horizon C Bb F Dm That's when I clap eyes on my lass C Bb F Dm And I find I'm singing like a lark C Bb F Dm My voice is calloused and my back is choked C Bb F Dm And out of earthen clods my heart will soar C Bb For now my tongue is held F Dm And my wheesht is haud C Bb F Dm C Bb But for now my tongue is held F And my wheesht is haud
