[Eb] came in [Bb] this world [Cm] together, [Bb] legs wrapped around [Cm] each other,
[Ab] My cheek against my sister's, we [Eb] were born like [Cm] tangled vines,
[Bb]
[Cm] And [Eb] we lived [Bb] along [Cm] the river, [Bb] where the black clouds [Cm] never lingered,
[Ab] And the sunlight spread like honey through [Eb] my sister's tiny hand,
[Cm] [Bb]

[Cm] [Eb] So I took [Bb] my [C] rusty gas can [Bb] and an old [Cm] iron shovel,
[Ab] And I set the woods to blaze and [Eb] choked the river [Cm] up with stone,
[Bb] [Cm] Ever
[Bb] creature [Cm] cast a shadow under [Bb] the sun's golden [Eb] fingers,
[Bb] And as the sun sinks past [Cm] the waving grass, [Bb] some shadow dragged [C] along,
