Great Lake Swimmers - Pulling On A Line

intro D

A Em7 D A
the line runs through like a train in a book
A G D A
or meters underwater , ending with a hook
A Em7 D A
it sways in the air when there’s wind enough to lift ,
A G D A
the fine ones are boundaries when there is a rift

D Bm
i’m just pulling on a line , on a line
G D
i’m just pulling on a line
D Bm
i’m just pulling on a line , on a line
G D
sometimes it pulls on me

A Em7 D A
the line , it inks across the freshly fallen snow ,
A G D A
where only those embracing coldness would go
A Em7 D A
it whistles and it whispers , and sometimes it howls ,
A G D A
it sings to me sweetly from the trees and in vowels

D Bm
i’m just pulling on a line , on a line
G D
i’m just pulling on a line
D Bm
i’m just pulling on a line , on a line
G D
sometimes it pulls on me

A Em7 D A
the line , it writes itself across the dark sky ,
A G D A
in the electric flushes ending with a sigh
A Em7 D A
it weaves itself into a fabric so true
A G D A
and flows just like the river , graceful and blue

D Bm
i’m just pulling on a line , on a line
G D
i’m just pulling on a line
D Bm
i’m just pulling on a line , on a line
G D
sometimes it pulls on me
