Capo 5

[Intro]

C,Em,F,C,G

[Verse 1]

       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

[Verse 2]

              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

[Verse 3]

            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

[Verse 4]

               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

[Chorus]

          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

Instrumental Break: C,Em,F,C,G

[Verse 5]

       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?

[Verse 6]

              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

[Chorus]

           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
