[Em] _ _ _ _ if you know [A] the [F#m] _ story _ [Bm] of Wallowa [G] _ Lake, _ _ Leviathan [Am] first _ did [G] indeed _ _ wear her [Am] children's sleep.
_ She [G] kept them hidden from the plague. _
[Em] But _ _ _ have you heard [F#m] the story _ _ [Bm] of my [G] mother's fate?
She left us in [Am] Detroit _ in [G] the rain _ [Am] with a _ pillowcase _ _ and [G] fortune for the paperweight.
_ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ We followed [A] her to Joseph _ _ near the [G] Indian raid.
She wept among the [C] weeds, hide and [G] seek for the [Am] fallen chief. _ _ _ _
[G] Spathophilum on his grave. _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ And like the [A] cedar _ [F#m] _ waxwing, she was drunk [G] all day.
_ We put her in the [Am] sheet, little [G] _ _ _
candles [Am] on the crate.
_ As [G] the monster showed his _ _ _ [D] face.
_ _ _ The shoe he [C] raised for her children in the [F] shade.
_ _ _ Tell me, God, [Am] oh tell me, God, the ghost parade. _
[A#] _ _ _ _ No oblation [Am] will bring her back to [D] her place. _ _ _ _ _

_ _ She stayed within the [D] _ deep end of Wallowa [Bm] _
[G] Lake.
_ The undertow _
[Am] refrained [G] with the flame of [Am] a feathered snake.
_ _ [G] Charybdis in its shallow grave.
_ _ [Em] _
_ _ She gave us one [A] last _ feature.
[F#m] The fullness of [G] her face _ in the shade [C] of _ [G] hill to your [C] red Napoleon.
_ _ _ _ As the [G] demon took her place. _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ And as [C] we wait for the waters to [F] reside.
_ _ _ _ Her and my [Am] ghost always is a man to pry.
[A#] _
_ _ _ _ When the dragon [Am]
submerged, we knew she [D] had died. _ _ _ _ _ _
