Iron & Wine – Resurrection Fern (Ukulele)

       C   
In our days we will live

         Em
Like our ghosts will live

         F                      C
Pitching glass at the cornfield crows

            G
And folding clothes

              C
Like stubborn boys across the road

           Em
We'll keep everything

          F                      C
Grandma's gun and the black bear claw

              G
That took her dog

            C
When sister Laurie says, "Amen" 

              Em
We won't hear anything

            F                     C
The ten-car trains will take that word

               G
That fledgling bird

               C
And the fallen house across the way

           Em
It'll keep everything

           F                   C
The baby's breath. Our bravery wasted 

        G
and our shame

          F                               C
And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire

         F                              G
Both our tender bellies wound in baling wire

        F                         C
All the more a pair of underwater pearls

         F                             G
Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern

       C
In our days we will say

         Em
What our ghosts will say

            F                 C
We gave the world what it saw fit

              G
And what'd we get?

              C
Like stubborn boys with big green eyes

          Em
We'll see everything

              F                   C
In the tender shade of the autumn leaves

                  G
And the buzzard's wing

           F                               C
And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire

         F                              G
Both our tender bellies wound in baling wire

        F                         C
All the more a pair of underwater pearls

         F                             G
Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern
