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]
