Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

 In our days we will live

 Like our ghosts will live

 Pitching glass at the cornfield crows

 And folding clothes

Verse 2

 Like stubborn boys across the road

 We'll keep everything

 Grandma's gun and the black bear claw

 That took her dog

Verse 3

 When sister Laurie says, "Amen"

 We won't hear anything

 The ten-car trains will take that word

 That fledgling bird

Verse 4

 And the fallen house across the way

 It'll keep everything

 The baby's breath. Our bravery wasted

 and our shame

Chorus

 And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire

 Both our tender bellies wound in baling wire

 All the more a pair of underwater pearls

 Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern

Instrumental break

Verse 5

 In our days we will say

 What our ghosts will say

 We gave the world what it saw fit

 And what'd we get?

Verse 6

 Like stubborn boys with big green eyes

 We'll see everything

 In the tender shade of the autumn leaves

 And the buzzard's wing

Chorus

 And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire

 Both our tender bellies wound in baling wire

 All the more a pair of underwater pearls

 Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern

Enjoy!!
