[Intro]
Dsus2 Bm G A Dsus2
[Verse]
Dsus2
Up in Pocahontas, near the Cranberry Glades
Bm G A Dsus2
Ain’t got bars, nor the charge to call her anyways
Bm G A Dsus2
my mind’s a mile a minute, my thoughts they bark like hounds
Bm G A Dsus2
but I’m focused on my breathing in the universal sound
Dsus2
I think about my darling girl, sleeping all alone
Bm G A Dsus2
I pray the stars will shoot her all the wishes she can hold
Bm G A Dsus2
On the day that I return, I aim to lay her down
Bm G A Dsus2
But right now, I’m focused on the universal sound
Dsus2
I think about tobacco juice and mason jars of shine
Bm G A Dsus2
I think about the vices I’ve let take me over time
Bm G A Dsus2
I recall when I was a baby, I didn’t need nothing around
Bm G A Dsus2
But a little bitty rattler and the universal sound
[Bridge]
G Dsus2
I close my eyes
G Dsus2
It was all so clear
G Dsus2
It was all right then
A
It was all right here
[Verse]
Dsus2
I’ve been up on the mountain, and I’ve seen his wondrous grace
Bm G A Dsus2
I’ve sat there on a bar stool, and I’ve looked him in the face
Bm G A Dsus2
He seemed a little haggard, but it did not slow him down
Bm G A Dsus2
He was humming to the neon of the universal sound
Dsus2
I focus on my breathin’ in the universal sound
Bm G A Dsus2
I let it take me over from the toenails to the crown
Bm G A Dsus2
‘Til the body that I’m in, ‘til they put me in the ground
Bm G A Dsus2
And I return to the chorus of the universal sound
