THREE HITS (Amy Ray)
--------------------

E5    G    D   C(9)
[intro]

      E           G
Three hits to the heart son
         D         C(9)
And it's poetry in motion
          E                 G
One could send you down the river
          D                   C(9)
Three's a strange way to be delivered

          G                    D
Would you trade your words for freedom
         G            C(9)
That's a barter for a blind man
      E           G
Three hits to the heart son
         D         C(9)
And it's poetry in motion

E     G    D   C(9)   C(9)
[5-bar solo]

        E               G
Are you leveed like a treasure
     D                 C(9)
Only words can help me find you
         E               G
And this world's a fickle measure
       D           C(9)
I will painfully remind you

       G                D
From a wise man to your red hand
        G              C(9)
You lay covered in our best sins
      E           G
Three hits to the heart son
         D         C(9)    C(9)
And it's poetry in motion  [extra bar]

E    G    D   C(9)     E    G    D   C(9)   C(9)
[9-bar solo]

       E5                G
Well I dream you constant stranger
          D                    C(9)
With your best bloods and your anger
        E5            G
You say mother do you claim me
     D            C(9)
My beloved do you blame me

         G                 D
Well the first two might release you
        G                 C(9)     C(9)
But the last one sings in me son  [drum beats]

      E           G
Three hits to the heart son
         D         C(9)
And it's poetry in motion

      E           G
Three hits to the heart son  [slowing]
        D                 C(9)    E.
And the last one sings in me
