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
