Version 3This song is really simple and very pretty. Standard Tuning Capo 5 Listen to the song to get the hammerons. They are all within the regular chords. [Intro] C,Em,F,C,G [Verse 1] C In our days we will live Em Like our ghosts will live F C Pitching glass at the cornfield crows G And folding clothes [Verse 2] C Like stubborn boys across the road Em We'll keep everything F C Grandma's gun and the black bear claw G That took her dog [Verse 3] C When sister Laurie says, "Amen" Em We won't hear anything F C The ten-car trains will take that word G That fledgling bird [Verse 4] C And the fallen house across the way Em It'll keep everything F C The baby's breath. Our bravery wasted G and our shame [Chorus] F C And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire F G Both our tender bellies wound in baling wire F C All the more a pair of underwater pearls F G Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern Instrumental Break: C,Em,F,C,G [Verse 5] C In our days we will say Em What our ghosts will say F C We gave the world what it saw fit G And what'd we get? [Verse 6] C Like stubborn boys with big green eyes Em We'll see everything F C In the tender shade of the autumn leaves G And the buzzard's wing [Chorus] F C And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire F G Both our tender bellies wound in baling wire F C All the more a pair of underwater pearls F G Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern Enjoy!!
