Chords
There are some little stylistic riffs and whatnot, but I believe this is the main
chord progression.
I tried to line up the chord names with the respective syllables.
Also, the chord progressions can seem physically awkward at times, but at tempo
they sound right.
If there's anything I screwed up, let me know. Enjoy.
C Dm Am G F Em Am We came in this world together, legs wrapped round each other, F C Bm C Am My cheek against my sister's we were born like tangled vine C Dm Am G F Em Am We lived along the river where the black clouds never linger F C Bm C Am The sunlight spread like honey through my sister's tiny hands C Dm Am G F Em Am But while picking sour apples, in the wild waving grasses F E F C Bm C Am Sister stumbled in a briar and was bitten by a snake
Chorus:
A G B A G E D E Every creature casts a shadow under the sun's golden fingers Bm A C G Bm But when the sun sinks past the waving grass some shadows are dragged Am along
Verse 2:
C Dm Am G F Em Am Alone I took to drinking bottles of cheap whisky F E F C Bm C And staggering through the backwoods killing snakes with a sharpened Am Stake C Dm Am G F Em Am But still I heard her laughing in the wild waving grasses F C Bm C Am Still her tiny hands went splashing at the river's sparkling shore C Dm Am G F Em Am So I took my rusty gas can and an old iron shovel F C Bm C Am I set the woods to burning I choked the river up with stones
Chorus
