[Bm] [D]
[G] [Bm]
[D]
[G] [Bm]
As a child it [D] was the place names
[G] Singing at me [B] is the first thing
How [Bm] the mouth must [A] be employed
In [B] every corner of [F#] itself
[G] To say
[D] Apalachicola
Or [Bm] a hush bikini [G] like Guibara
A
[Bm] promise [A] softly sung of [D] somewhere else
And as [G] a young man [D] blessed to pass
So [Bm] many road signs
And have [G] my foreign ear made fresh again
[A] On each unlikely sound
[C#m] But feel [G] at home hearing [D] a music
[Bm] That few still [F#m] understand
A [G] butchered tone still [D] singing [A] here above the [D] ground
The
[Bm] ears were [D] chopped from young men
If the [G] pitch cap didn't [B] kill them
[Bm] They are buried without [A] scalp
In [F#] the shattered bedrock of our home
You [G] may never know [D] your fortune
Until [Bm] the distance has [G] been shown
Between what is [Bm] lost forever
[D] And what can still be known
So far [G] from home to have a stranger call [E] you darling
[Bm] And have your [G] guarded heart be lifted
Like [A] a child up by the hand
[F#] In some [G] town that [D] just means home to them
With [Bm] no translator [F#m] left to sound
[Bm] A butchered tone still [D] singing [A] here above the [E] ground
