Am     D
Deep drum
                  Em
Hear her sing and light

and making forward
         D
from the water ways

and all's just waking up

Am     D
I break
          Em
for it to lighten up these worries
        D
Lighten up these walls

to feel the depth too

[Pre-Chorus]
Am
Feel my body open now and clear
D
Feel my body moving
                           Em
to the pulse of the outer wake
    D
Oh, I knew I had to get through
Am
I've been in the carbon lines and haze
D
Where everybody's off
                                       Em
when they're on, when they're on their way
    D
Oh, I just want to get through mh mh

[Verse 2]
Am   D
I find
            Em
open up the hours
                              D
and the whole thing starts to follow

It won't hollow me today
Am    D
I wait for it
   Em
to lighten up be honest
         D
Bring me straight deep down,

no telling me to

[Pre-Chorus ]
Am
Looking at the open skies and truths
      D
where everybody's under the sun
              Em
It's the only way, hey
D
Honest eyes come through my friend
Am
Yes signs are in the air I drew
D
Feel my body moving to the pulse
              Em
of the outer wake
    D
Oh, I can really feel it coming through

[Chorus]
Am                                D
Bayou and the beating drum, bayou bayou

Bayou and the beating
Em
Bayou and the beating drum
  D
Bayou
C
Did you hear the old one hum? Bayou
Em
Underneath the evening sun, bayou
D
Bayou and the beating drum
  D
Bayou

[Post-Chorus]
      Am          D           Em          D
Uh uh uh.   Uh uh uh.   Uh uh uh.   Uh uh uh...
      Am          D           Em          D
Uh uh uh.   Uh uh uh.   Uh uh uh.   Uh uh uh...

[Verse 3]
Am    D
I praise
             Em
I get in and all I hear's the honest call
    D
the resonance, the sounds so deep and tame
Am   D
A wait
          Em
for it to lighten up be honest
         D
Bring it straight deep down

and feel the depth too

[Pre-Chorus]
Am
Feel the body singing loud and clear
D
Feel the body rolling to the pulse
               Em
that's been underway, oh
    D
The waves are coming you way
Am
And on the water drifting proud, serene
D
I tell you I belong to be out
               Em
and go all the way, oh

[Bridge]
D
When I fall, I fall
D
It's the land that makes me tall
D
I could run, I could run to my hearts call
D
I feel heavier, heavier from it all
D
I can hear the ancient sounds of...

[Chorus]
Am                                D
Bayou and the beating drum, bayou bayou

Bayou and the beating
Em
Bayou and the beating drum
  D
Bayou
C
Did you hear the old one hum? Bayou
Em
Underneath the evening sun, bayou
D
Bayou and the beating drum
  D
Bayou

[Post-Chorus]
      Am          D           Em          D
Uh uh uh.   Uh uh uh.   Uh uh uh.   Uh uh uh...
      Am          D           Em          D
Uh uh uh.   Uh uh uh.   Uh uh uh.   Uh uh uh...

[Outro]
C    Em         D
Ah   Ah,   ah   ah
C    Em         D
Ah   Ah,   ah   ah
C    Em         D
Ah   Ah,   ah   ah...
