                       F 
In the Bitterroot, the biggest sky 
    C                G 
The valley wide, the mountain high 
    C               F 
The holy girl whose smile was light 
    C                  G 
The crescent moon, the bird in flight 
                  C          G 
 
C                F 
Bread and water, blood and fire 
C                G 
Bread and water, blood and fire 
C                F 
Bread and water, blood and fire 
C                G         C 
Bread and water, blood and fire 


                       F 
And so they sang their songs of praise 
   C              G 
In Revelation and Judgment Day 
C                 F 
Words of faith in their beliefs 
       C                     G 
In the height of joy and the depths of grief 
             C       G 
Jesu, Joy of Man's Desire 
C                F 
Bread and water, blood and fire 
C                G 
Bread and water, blood and fire 
C                F 
Bread and water, blood and fire 
C                G         C 
Bread and water, blood and fire 


     G                 C 
That was his life, his every day 
G             C 
Took in every word they'd say 
G                     C 
Truth being turned in every way 
       F                             G 
And he saw the cracks in the feet of clay
