Tonart: E minor•
Verse 1
C
the Farmer drove his tractor
where the soil had been tilled
Em
planting Corn in rank and file from
the silo to the lumber mill
C
he rode along in silence as he looked out
Em
past the Honeysuckle field,
watched the water turn the waterwheel
C
thinking about his daughter with affection,
her reaction of disdain
Em
the day he replaced the blue Hydrangea
with the climbing frame
C
while her disappointed Sister looked on,
Em
quiet as the snow, knowing well:
those who know don't talk
and those who talk don't know
Em
G
Em
she couldn't help
G
Em
G
but sing!
Em
C
the Tortoise in the wheelchair wrapped
Em
his forehead in a bandage
wore a plaster cast on his phony broken leg
C
so he'd get pushed around the sidewalk
by the Zookeeper's assistant
Em
with the Hummingbird observing from
behind a yellow Flower,
C
flapping his tiny wings so fast
you couldn't see them
Em
with resentment for the Tortoise
(which was clear by his expression)
C
but the Tortoise turned and smiled with
a Peacefulness which proved
Em
there's a movement in our stillness
and however much we move
G
Em
G
we're bound to stand
Em

completely still
