The Handsome Family – Green Willow Valley (Guitar)

          C         F       C
Like the moon pulls on the water 

         F               C
and the water pulls the sand 

       Dm                Am
Like starlight drifts a billion years 

     F            C
to flicker once above your head

       C    F       C
The cicadas in the oak trees 

     F              C
are singing to the sky 

    Dm           Am
and I am calling out to you 

   F         G      C
across this silent night

 F                C
Come back to the valley, 

         Am          F
to the green willow valley 

        Fm         C
In the cool of the evening, 

     F       G        C
I'm waiting here for you

         C        F        C
Can you feel the wings of birds 

  F                 C
whisper 'cross the sky? 

 Dm                Am
Can you hear the blades of grass 

 F              C
calling to the light?

           C     F      C
There are rivers underground 

 F                C
rushing cold and wild 

    Dm           Am
and I am calling out to you 

   F        G      C
across the lonely night

 F                C
Come back to the valley, 

         Am          F
to the green willow valley 

        Fm         C
In the cool of the evening, 

     F       G        C
I'm waiting here for you

       Am            Em
We'll lie under the willows 

      F              C
in a bed of fallen leaves 

Am               Em
I will bring you apples 

     F                C   G G7
and water from the stream

C       F         C
I will pull the thorns 

F                    C
from your blistered feet 

Dm                 Am
Can't you hear me calling 

         F     G        C
in the whisper of the trees?

 F                C
Come back to the valley, 

         Am          F
to the green willow valley 

        Fm         C
In the cool of the evening, 

     F       G        C
I'm waiting here for you

        Fm         C
In the cool of the evening, 

     F       G        C
I'm waiting here for you
