My Sisters Tiny Hands Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

Em G D Em G

  DWe came in Emthis world together, legs wrapped round each other,

 My Ccheek against my sister's we were Gborn like tangled Emvine

(Repeat this pattern through verses)

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 Dcreature casts a Emshadow under the Dsun's golden Gfingers

 But when the Dsun sinks past the Emwaving grass some Dshadows are Emdragged 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
