VERSE:

In our [C]days we will live
em
Like our ghosts will live
Pitching [Fadd11+]glass at the cornfield c[C]rows
And folding c[G]lothes

Like stubborn boys across the road
We'll keep everything
Grandma's gun and the black bear claw
That took her dog

And when sister Lowery says "amen"
We won't hear anything
The ten-car train will take that word
That fledgling bird

And the fallen house across the way
It'll keep everything
The baby's breath
Our bravery wasted and our shame

REFRAIN:

And we'll und[Fadd11+]ress beside the ashes of the[C] fire
Both our [Fadd11+]tender bellies wound in baling w[G]ire
All the[Fadd11+] more a pair of underwater p[C]earls
Fadd11+ G (Lauf)
Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern

INSTRUMENTAL (VERSE)

VERSE:

In our days we will say
What our ghosts will say
"We gave the world what it saw fit
And what'd we get?"

Like stubborn boys with big green eyes
We'll see everything
In the timid shade of the autumn leaves
And the buzzard's wing

REFRAIN:

And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire
Our tender bellies all wound around in baling wire
All the more a pair of underwater pearls
Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern
