Dear Arkansas daughter
Bm A Em G 3x
[Verse 1]
Bm A Em G Bm A Em G
You with the dark curls, you with the watercolored eyes
Bm A Em G Bm A Em G
You who bears all your teeth in every smile

Says I can always hear you sing, I wanna hear you speak to me
Bm A Em G Bm A Em G
While a stranger braids my hair back out on the street
Bm A Em G Bm A Em G
And in your dreams we are shooting at snakes
Bm A Em G Bm A Em G
And while you were asleep, I was surely awake
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm A Em G
I was talking out a cigarette

There's nothing left to say

But he should have been there anyway
Bm A Em G Bm A Em G
For I didn't sing a single song, all day
[Chorus]

As my love for you dies

My heart is full of swords

Your love, it knows the Lord

Tie my hands and I'm on my knees
Am C G G
As I kneel down, I kneel down in the sea
G Em
To the ocean floor, I will sink
Am C G G
Like a steel chest full of weapons
G Em
And all in spite of the tide, you will rise
Am C G G
Like a red, ripe, red, ripe apple
G Em
Take a swim in the dirty water
Am C G G
Dear Arkansas Daughter
