The Road The Rocks And The Weeds Chords

- This song is too good to not have proper chords online.
Watching JMM on FB and verifying with the album version,
he capos on the 9th fret. Personally, that’s too high a
pitch for me to sing at, I Prefer playing along capo on 3rd Fret.
 
 
-JMM thumb strums the chords, mainly focusing on the lower
strings except for the chords.
 
-Nice little touch with the chords is at the end of each
verse he does a walk-down from the G chord to Em on E string.
 
 
[Intro]
G
 
[Verse 1]
G
Come down from the stars, show your human scars
G [contd]
Tell me what it's like to believe
Am7                                         Em
Through my Christ haunted thoughts that the losses you bought
         C                                 G
Are the nights that you peopled with your dreams
C                              G
Well, I've got no answers for heartbreaks or cancers
Em                                 G  [E String walkdown]
But a Savior who suffers them with me
Em               D            C           G
Singing goodbye, Olympus, the heart of my Maker
C                        D                    G
Is spread out on the road, the rocks, and the weeds
 
 
[Verse 2]
G
Come down from your mountain, your high-rise apartment
G [contd]
And tell me of the God you know who bleeds
Am7                                      Em
And what to tell my daughter when she asks so many questions
C                                          G
And I fail to fill her heaviness with peace
C                            G
When I've got no answers for hurt knees or cancers
Em                                 G [walkdown]
But a Savior who suffers them with me
Em               D            C           G
Singing goodbye, Olympus, the heart of my Maker
C                    D                        G
Is spread out on the road, the rocks, and the weeds
 
 
[Chorus]
Am7                               D
And Aphrodite would not weep, nor Zeus would suffer for the weak
G                                    C
But have you come to stand inside my pain?
Am7                                     D
And all the things I've begged you for, eternity and evermore
G                                   C
Are hidden with me here beneath the rain
    D
The rain
 
 
[Verse 3]
G
So shall I plant sequoias and revel in the soil
C                                   G
Of a crop I know I'll never live to reap?
            Em         D             C             G
Then sow my body to my Maker, and my heart unto my savior
    C                 D                      G
And spread me on the road, the rocks, and the weeds
 C                D
Spread me on the road
