Version 1[Verse 1] G C G Beside a singin' mountain stream where the willow grew C G A7 D Where the silver leaf of maple sparkled in the mornin' dew G C G I braided twigs of willow, made a string of buckeye beads C G C G But flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need C G C G Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need [Verse 2] G C G I leaned against the bark of birch and I breathed the honeydew C G A7 D I saw a northbound flock of geese against a sky of baby blue G C G Beside the lily pads I carved a whistle from a reed C G C G Mother Nature's quite a lady, but you're the one I need C G C G Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need [Interlude] C G x4 [Verse 3] G C G A cardinal sang just for me and I thanked him for the song C G A7 D Then the sun went slowly down the west and I had to move along G C G These were some of the things on which my mind and spirit feed C G C G But flesh and blood needs flesh and blood but you're the one I need C G C G Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need [Verse 4] G C G So, when the day was ended I was still not satisfied C G A7 D For I knew everything I touched would wither away and die G C G And love is all that will remain and grow from all these seeds C G C G Mother's Nature's quite a lady, but you're the one I need C G C G Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need
