[Verse 1]
     E          A       E
They burn that hillside black
     E                  A       E
They lay the maple down on It's back
     E         A
For just one stardust stone
     E
Sleeping innocent below.

      E                   A         E
But they'll run when the warm rain comes
 A        E        B
Roaring with the thunder
      E                A     E
I'll rise up from the murky mud
          E
When the summer storm begins the flood.

[Verse 2]
 E         A      E
I'll hide way up high
   E                  A       E
Until the water runs down the pike
    E                  A     E
To wash aside all the parasites
     E
And take the valley back alive.

     E                 A       E
The Tug flows and the rubbish floats
    A      E       B
to hang up on the high oak
     E                  A     E
The power goes to the undergrowth
          E
When the summer storm begins to blow.

[Verse 3]
 E        A     E
Free me, let me go
 E                     A         E
They don't recognize a precious stone
      E                A        E
I'll lay low 'til the wet wind blows
    E
To take me tumblin' down the road

     E                  A      E
The wood vines make it hard to fly
     A      E        B
The anchor holds my rope down
        E                         A   E
There's no use trying to make it out alive
            E
And like a summer storm I've gotta roam.
