* Capo on the second fret
BGeside a singin'C mountain streaGm where the willow grew
Where the Csilver leaf of Gmaple sparkled A7in the mornin'D dew
I Gbraided twigs of Cwillow, made a Gstring of buckeye beads
But Cflesh and blood needs Gflesh and blood Cand you're the one I Gneed
CFlesh and blood needs Gflesh and blood Cand you're the one I Gneed
I leaned against the bark of birch and I breathed the honeydew
I saw a northbound flock of geese against a sky of baby blue
Beside the lily pads I carved a whistle from a reed
Mother Nature's quite a lady, but you're the one I need
Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need
Interlude: C and G x4
A cardinal sang just for me and I thanked him for the song
Then the sun went slowly down the west and I had to move along
These were some of the things on which my mind and spirit feed
But flesh and blood needs flesh and blood but you're the one I need
Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need
So, when the day was ended I was still not satisfied
For I knew everything I touched would wither away and die
And love is all that will remain and grow from all these seeds
Mother's Nature's quite a lady, but you're the one I need
Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need
