Artist: Antonio Carlos Jobim
[VERSE]
[C/Bb]A stick, a stone, it's the end of the ro[Am6]ad
It's the rest of a s[Fm6/Ab]tump, it's a little alone
[C6/G]It's a sliver of g[Gm7]lass, it is l[C7]ife, it's the [Am6/F#]sun
It is night, it is death, it[Fm7]'s a trap, it's a[C9/G] gun
The oak when it bl[C7/G]ooms, a fox in the br[D7/F#]ush
The knot in the [Fm6]wood, the song of a thr[C9/G]ush
The will of the wi[Gm7]nd, a cl[C7]iff, a fa[D7/F#]ll
A scratch, a [Fm7]lump, it is n[Fm6]othing at a[C9/G]ll
It's the wind blowing f[C7/G]ree, it's the en[C7]d of the sl[Am6/F#]ope
It's a beam, it's a v[Fm6]oid, it's a hunch, it's a h[C9/G]ope
[CHORUS]
[C/G]And the river bank t[C7/G]alks of the waters of Ma[Am6/F#]rch
It's the end of the s[Fm6]train, it's the joy in you[C9/G]r heart
[VERSE]
[C/G]The foot, the gr[C/Bb]ound, the flesh and the bo[Am6]ne
The beat of the [Fm6/Ab]road, a slingshot's s[C9/G]tone
A fish, a f[C/Bb]lash, a silvery g[D7/F#]low
A fight, a b[Fm6]et, the range of a [C9/G]bow
The bed of the we[C/Bb]ll, the end of the l[Am6]ine
The dismay in the [Fm6/Ab]face, it's a loss, it's a f[C9/G]ind
A spear, a s[C/Bb]pike, a point, a n[Am6]ail
A drip, a d[Fm6/Ab]rop, the end of the t[C/G]ale
A truckload of br[Gm9/C]icks in the soft morning li[D7/F#]ght
The shot of a gu[Bb7/F]n in the dead of the night
A mile, a m[C/Bb]ust, a thrust, a b[Am6]ump,
It's a girl, it's a [Fm6/Ab]rhyme, it's a cold, it's the m[C9/G]umps
The plan of the [Gm7]house, the bo[C9]dy in be[D/C]d
And the car that got s[Fm/C]tuck, it's the mud, it's the [C6/G]mud
A float, a dr[Gm/C]ift, a flig[C7]ht, a wi[D7/C]ng
A hawk, a q[Fm9/C]uail, the promise of sp[C]ring
[CHORUS]
[C]And the river bank tal[C7/G]ks of the waters of Ma[Am6/F#]rch
It's the promise of [Fm]life, it's th[Fm6]e joy in your[C6] heart
[INSTRUMENTAL]

[VERSE]
[C/G]A snake, a stic[C/Bb]k, it is John, it is [Am6]Joe
It's a thorn in your h[Fm6/Ab]and and a cut in your to[C6/G]e
A point, a g[C/Bb]rain, a bee, a b[Am6]ite
A blink, a b[Fm6/Ab]uzzard, a sudden stroke of n[C9/G]ight
[C/G]A pass in the mou[Cm7]ntains, a horse and a mu[D/C]le
In the distance the s[Fm6/C]helves rode three shadows of bl[C]ue
[CHORUS]
[C]And the river bank t[Cm7]alks of the waters of M[D/C]arch
It's the promise of l[Db/C]ife in your heart, in your he[C/G]art
[VERSE]
[C]A stick, a s[C/Bb]tone, the end of the loa[Am6]d
The rest of a [Fm6/Ab]stump, a lonesome r[C9/G]oad
A sliver of gl[Gm7]ass, a l[C7]ife, the s[D/C]un
A night, a de[Fm6]ath, the e[G#dim/C]nd of the ru[C/G]n
[CHORUS]
[C/G]And the river bank ta[Gm7]lks of the w[C7]aters of M[D/C]arch
It's the end of all s[Fm6]train, it's the joy in your[C9] heart
[C/Bb]A stick, a stone, it's the end of the ro[Am6]ad
It's the rest of a s[Fm6/Ab]tump, it's a little alone
[C6/G]It's a sliver of g[Gm7]lass, it is l[C7]ife, it's the [Am6/F#]sun
