VERSE:
C
In our days we will live
em
Like our ghosts will live
Fadd11+ C
Pitching glass at the cornfield crows
G
And folding clothes
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:
Fadd11+ C
And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire
Fadd11+ G
Both our tender bellies wound in baling wire
Fadd11+ C
All the more a pair of underwater pearls
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

version 2
The song starts like that:
e I---0h1----------------|I
B I--------1------1------|I
G I-----------2----------|I
D I----------------------|I
A I----------------------|I
E I----------------------|I
and goes on with:
Verse:
I F I F I F I F I
I Am I Am I Am I Am I
I Bb#11 I Bb#11 I F I F I
I C I C I C I C I
Refrain:
I Bb I Bb I F I F I
I Bb I Bb I C I C I
I Bb I Bb I F I F I
I Bb I Bb I C I C I
F should be played as ( X X 3 2 1 1 )
While Bb#11 is ( X 1 3 3 3 0) i know it sounds dangerous, but it isn't at all. You
here the high e string
I recommend to play the chords in the verse like this (it's not completely what is
in the song, but it sounds more expressive to me if you don't have any rhythm section):
F
e I-----1-----------1---I I-----1----------------|I
B I-----1---------1-----I I-----1----------------|I
G 3x I-----2---0h2---------I then I-----2---0h2----0-----|I
D I--3------3-----------I I--3------3------------|I
A I---------------------I I----------------------|I
E I---------------------I I----------------------|I
Am
e I---------------------I I---------------------|I
B I--------1------------I I--------1------------|I
G 3x I--------2-------0h2--I then I--------2-------0----|I
D I--------2---0h2------I I--------2--0h2-------|I
A I---0-----------------I I-----0---------------|I
E I---------------------I I---------------------|I
Bb#11
e I------------0---------------|I
B I-------3-----3----3---------|I
G 2x I-------3----------3--I------| then 2x F (like above)
D I-------3----------3---------|I
A I---1------1----1------------|I
E I----------------------------|I
C
e I---------------------I I---------------------|I
B I-------1----------1--I I---------------------|I
G 3x I-------0--------0----I then I---------------0-----|I
D I-------2---0h2-------I I-------0---2---------|I
A I---3-------3---------I I---3-----------------|I
E I---------------------I I---------------------|I
In the Chorus the strum patterns are quite the same.
----------------
with a capo on the fifth fret the chords are
F = C
Am = Em
Bb#11 = F#11
C = G
the #11 problem is much easier:
by playing the Bb as an F (X X 3 2 1 1)
the F#11 is played as (X X 3 2 0 1)
