Ressurection Fern

Intro
 
C,Em,F,C,G 
 
In our  
C 
days we will live
 
Like our  
Em 
ghosts will live
 
Pitching  
F 
glass at the cornfield  
C 
crows
 
And folding  
G 
clothes

 

 
Like stubborn  
C 
boys across the road
 
We’ll keep  
Em 
everything
 
Grandma’s  
F 
gun and the black bear  
C 
claw
 
That took her  
G 
dog

 

 
When sister  
C 
Laurie says, “Amen”
 
We won’t hear  
Em 
anything
 
The ten-car  
F 
trains will take that  
C 
word
 
That fledgling  
G 
bird

 

 
And the fallen  
C 
house across the way
 
It’ll keep  
Em 
everything
 
The baby’s  
F 
breath. Our bravery  
C 
wasted
 
and our  
G 
shame

 

 
And we’ll  
F 
undress beside the ashes of the  
C 
fire
 
Both our  
F 
tender bellies wound in baling  
G 
wire
 
All the  
F 
more a pair of underwater  
C 
pearls
 
Than the  
F 
oak tree and its resurrection  
G 
fern

 

Instrumental Break: C,Em,F,C,G

 

 
In our  
C 
days we will say
 
What our  
Em 
ghosts will say
 
We gave the  
F 
world what it saw  
C 
fit
 
And what’d we  
G 
get?

 

 
Like stubborn  
C 
boys with big green eyes
 
We’ll see  
Em 
everything
 
In the tender  
F 
shade of the autumn  
C 
leaves
 
And the buzzard’s  
G 
wing

 

 
And we’ll u
F 
ndress beside the ashes of the f
C 
ire
 
Both our  
F 
tender bellies wound in baling  
G 
wire
 
All the  
F 
more a pair of underwater  
C 
pearls
 
Than the  
F 
oak tree and its resurrection  
G 
fern
