When listening to the song, the chords are slightly off-beat with the words, which
is why a lot of them are displayed between the words themselves. During the
chorus, the strumming pattern differs slightly here, sort of like going from 3/4
time to 6/8 time, but listening to the song as you play will help you figure it
out. Also, I like playing this song with a capo on the 5th fret, but it still
sounds fine without it. :)
Intro: F C G x2
Verse:
Last night I[F] dreamed we'd found a[C] stand of tre[G]es
framing a [F]pond and a [Am]field in [G]between
And with a[Dm] hammer and a [Am]blade and our four [G]hands
here's what we [F]made[E]
The logs we[F] peeled and [C]stacked in a[G] ring
and then we [F]crowned it, our tiny[Am] house, with ti[G]n
And by the[Dm] fire, flickeri[Am]ng bronze and gol[G]d across your[F] face
I heard you[E] say[G]

Chorus:
It may not [C]be a grand pa[F]rade of snow capped peaks, ooo[G]h
no rive[C]r silver-[F]backed crashing through, ooo[G]h
but we have our [C]black-haired [F]babes running [Em]free
through the [Dm]woods, oo[G]oo
Solo (same as verse):

[F] [C] [G]
[Dm] [Am] [G] [F] [E]
Verse:
[F]Squirrels in the rafters, [F]wrens in the [G]eaves
red [F]dirt neath our nails, orange [Am]stains on our kne[G]es
[Dm]blackberries in [Am]June down the [G]path without o[F]ur shoes[E][G]
Chorus:
It may not [C]be a grand pa[F]rade of snow capped peaks, ooo[G]h
