KOREAN DOGWOOD � Devendra Banhart

D   C   G

    D      C
Red oak sugar,
       G
And Korean dogwood and Korean dogwood 
       D              C
Vibes turn to rubbed rum,
       G
It by mission moonlight kangas on that hillside
    D       C
You are my life,
         G
And you baffle me some like vanilla's maple
   D       C
Inca cornflower
           G
You�re my baby�s blue eyes

                 C                    G
And when you're gown dissolves in a prayer
               Am     C
You�ll hear a sound 
                     G
That rings true and fair

       D         C
Black king lightning,
            G
The dawn of orange blossoms and orange blossoms 
     D        C
My friend Keegan,
        G
Drawing endless love songs, endless love songs 
 D                  C
Calm breath, sweet being,
          G
Show me what you�re seeing, show me what you�re seeing 

            C                   G
And though right and loud and proud
              Am    C
Every little word 
                G
It still ain't heard

          D         C
Strange prayers looming,
     G
Over all our brothers, over all our brothers 
    D        C
Prison life served
       G
But Navajo Gospel is a rope thrown helpful 
D    C   G
Oh...

         C                   G
But for sure all that we�ve made
                          Am     C
Will be swallowed by the Earth 
                 G
For it�s got no worth...
