The recording I'm going from is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f22rCQ_nFv0

It starts by finger picking C, then at the chorus he strums, and continues to do so for the remainder of the
song.


[Intro] C

[Verse 1]

C
My body was sleeping
         Dm
While my poor mind was dreaming
            Am                                         C
When they woke me up I didn't know that I'd been screaming
     C                                   Dm
And my old heart was pounding, for the devil had found me
  Am                          C
Trapped me in a corner of my mind
  C
And my legs were both shaking
          Dm
From the pain they'd been taking
  Am                               C
Picked my body up, and aimed for home
C
But I was warm like a fire
           Dm                  Am                C
For I was full of desire to hold on, to not let go
 C
Thought of friends, thought of family
     Dm
And all who surround me
       Am                              C
Those enemies I danced with, so long ago
 C
Let them know


[Chorus]
Am  G         F     Am  G         F
If you find water, please call my name
 Am  G         F         Am  G         F
Put me out like a fire, cover me in rain

  C

[Verse 2]

C
Thought of stars and the planets
          Dm
Wondered how they could have planned this
     Am
And what were they thinking
                       C
How could they have known?
C
I felt small but full of pride
        Dm
I felt tall for my size
     Am                              C
My eyes were black and fixed on the night
 C
And your name just hung
        Dm
From a song I had sung
  Am
There in the air
                 C
Suspended by beauty
C
There are words that get spoken
         Dm
Oh, and lives the leave broken
      Am
Some stone breaks in half
                      C
And some stones shatters
 C
But my speech had been fleeting
           Dm
Like the company I'd been keeping
         Am                                             C
I never asked for their names and they never asked for mine
 C
Just a polluted highway
       Dm
Or a clouded skyway
      Am                                C
I'm a mess I confess, now send me the maid


[Chorus]
 Am  G         F     Am  G         F
If you find water, please call my name
 Am  G             F    Am  G         F
Put me on like a fire, cover me in rain

 C

[Verse 3]

C
Thought of stages with their singers
        Dm
Oh, and painters with their fingers
      Am                                  C
I was strong like a horse in carrying my song
C
To drop it off in some stable
            Dm
When I was young I was able
   Am                                 C
To never turn around, to never look behind
C
To grow old, to grow distant
       Dm
Like a mare in the distance
 Am                           C
Bothering no one, so let her live
C
Until she dies
                          Dm
Picture lilies, picture willows

And a wild open window
      Am                                    C
To a room with a view, and both of us laughing
C
Just children so young
        Dm
Oh, at least in the scheme
         Am
With our hair still there
                          C
And you keep my teeth clean
C
I sing who is my creator
        Dm
Not my mother

Not my father
       Am                              C
But before the universe burst wide on open


[Chorus]
 Am  G         F    Am  G         F
If you find water, please call my name
 Am  G            F        Am  G      F
Put me on like a fire, cover me in rain
 Am  G         F     Am  G         F
If you find water, won't you call my name?
 Am  G            F     Am  G         F
Put me on like a fire, cover me in rain

O Behold

nik — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 02:16:27 +0000

[Intro]
E   F#m   A


[Verse 1]
E            F#m        A
O behold the hole in my soul
E                       F#m            A
Cannot be filled and it cannot be sewn up
E                F#m        A
And o behold the hole in my heart
E                   F#m                 A
Devil will come for us, try to tear us apart
E                F#m        A
And o behold the hole in my tale
E                      F#m     A
I tried to tell, but I guess I failed
E                F#m         A
And o behold the hole in the sky
E                         F#m         A
Where's the baby bluebird go when she dies?
E                       F#m       A
Where's the baby bird go when she dies?


[Chorus]
E             F#m                 A
Horns from my head, wings from my shoulders
E                 F#m                     A
Quick, mama, look up, your baby has grown up
E             F#m                 A
Horns from my head, wings from my shoulders
E                 F#m                    A
Quick, mama, look up, your baby's gotten older
E                         F#m            A
Beautiful mama, beautiful boy, beautiful girl
E                        F#m             A
Beautiful earth, you were here first


[Chorus]
E             F#m                 A
Horns from my head, wings from my shoulders
E                 F#m                                             A
Quick, papa, look up, there's a ship in the mist and it's getting closer
E              F#m                 A
(Horns from my head, wings from my shoulders)
This is it, know I love you
E                      F#m           A
If the plane's on fire, know I love you
E                    F#m           A
Regardless of my fate, know I love her
(Horns from my head, wings from my shoulders)


[Verse 2]
E            F#m        A
O behold the hole in my soul
E                       F#m            A
Cannot be filled and it cannot be sewn up
E                F#m            A
And o behold the hole in my veil
E                         F#m
Lights coming through the trees
               A
I'm down on my knees
    E            F#m               A
And o behold the hole in my guitar
E                 F#m          A
I'm safe with you in my arms
E                F#m            A
And o behold the hole in the sky
            E               F#m       A
Where's the baby bluebird go when she dies?
A                             A              A      
No chain to the sky, does she fly above the weather?

[End]
