Make The Wild Blood Start
Copyright by: Verne Garrison
October 21, 2009 Valley Park, MO

Banjo tuned E, Capo 1. Key E
Moderate Tempo

Make The Wild Blood Start

E A
Not in a man-made path,
E
Strewn with roses, that invite us,
B7
But we hope something better
E
To make the wild blood start

Make the wild blood start
In its mystic springs
A rugged trail through the woods
A whiff of natural air, bird on the wing

Yes, make the wild blood start
In its mystic springs
Feel my pounding heart
Immersed in God's wonderous things
