Chords for Radical Face - Third Family Portrait (Audio)

It was the dead [Db] of winter, _ the cold [Ebm] was [Db] in our bones, _ and our shells slipped as _ we [Ab] headed.
[Db] _ _
Our mother's stand on the [Ab] porch one evening, the silent crack in [Db] her stone-painted mask.
She looked [Abm] up at [Gb] the sky and said,
Please.
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
[Bb] _ [Db] _ [Ab] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
[F] _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ [Db] By the turn of [Eb] summer, we'd packed up all we [Db] owned.
And with my mom and brothers, we [Ab] started for the [Db] coast.
And I _ _ [Ab] would count all the clouds [Gb] on the way, and [Db] you and I would name them while the world around us changed.
And I remember her asking if the place [Ab] we're moving [Db] would have more [Ab] food, and my [Db] mother grew as distant [Gb] as can be.
And mouth, please. _ _
_ [Abm] _ _ _ [Gb] _ [Ab] _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _
[Db] _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
Crying so [Bbm] tired, I [Eb] [Db] sing out my heart.
[Eb] The [Bbm] river of time will [Db] drown these days out. _ _
[Gb] _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Eb] [Db] Crying. _ _
[Bb] _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] It [Db] was the year just after we stood [Eb] and watched.
[Db] _ _ And my mom was smiling, _ no [Ab] longer [Db] saying please. _
