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.
We came in this world together, legs wrapped round each other,
My cheek against my sister s we were born like tangled vine
We lived along the river where the black clouds never linger
The sunlight spread like honey through my sister s tiny hands
But while picking sour apples, in the wild waving grasses
Sister stumbled in a briar and was bitten by a snake
Chorus:
Every creature casts a shadow under the sun s golden fingers
But when the sun sinks past the waving grass some shadows are dragged
along
Verse 2:
Alone I took to drinking bottles of cheap whisky
And staggering through the backwoods killing snakes with a sharpened
Stake
But still I heard her laughing in the wild waving grasses
Still her tiny hands went splashing at the river s sparkling shore
So I took my rusty gas can and an old iron shovel
I set the woods to burning I choked the river up with stones
Chorus
