**********************************************************************
*Verse 1 : Play the fingerpicking as written above once for each line*
**********************************************************************

(play once without singing)

Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags,
I've come to know that memories
Were the best things you ever had
The summer shone beat down on bony backs
So far from home where the ocean stood
Down dust and pine cone tracks

(play once without singing)

We slept like dogs down by the fire side
Awoke to the fog all around us
The boom of summer time

(play once without singing)

*********************************
*Chorus (strum once and hold) : *
*********************************

Fadd9
We stood
               C
Steady as the stars in the woods
        Fadd9
So happy-hearted
                    C
And the warmth rang true inside these bones
               Fadd9
As the old pine fell we sang
              C
Just to bless the morning.

**********************************************************************
*Verse 2 : Play the fingerpicking as written above once for each line*
**********************************************************************

(play once without singing)

 Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags,
I've come to know the friends around you
Are all you'll always have
Smoke in my lungs, or the echoed stone
Careless and young, free as the birds that fly
With weightless souls now.

(play once without singing)

********************************
*Chorus (strum once and hold) :*
********************************

Fadd9
We stood
               C
Steady as the stars in the woods
        Fadd9
So happy-hearted
                    C
And the warmth rang true inside these bones

******************************************
*Chorus bis (strum however you feel like)*
******************************************
Fadd9
We stood
               C
Steady as the stars in the woods
        Fadd9
So happy-hearted
                    C
And the warmth rang true inside these bones
               Fadd9
As the old pine fell we sang
              C
Just to bless the morning.

We grow, grow, steady as the morning
We grow, grow, older still
We grow, grow, happy as a new dawn
We grow, grow, older still
We grow, grow, steady as the flowers
We grow, grow, older still
We grow, grow, happy as a new dawn
We grow, grow, older still
