Fallen Peaches
From the album Singing Bones
[INTRO]
Am Em G x 4
[VERSE 1]
C Em
We came down a black dirt hill
F C
Between the rows of blooming peaches
Am F
And we scattered leaping fawns
Em G Am Em G
As we fell into the ditches
Am Em G
[VERSE 2]
C Em
Ahead of me ran Jackson
F C
Who took a bullet to the chest
Am F
And beneath the swaying peaches
Em G Am Em G
Jackson slowly bled to death
Am Em G
[VERSE 3]
C Em
But as his green eyes dimmed
F C
I saw a fiery mist
Am F
Drift softly to the clouds
Em G Am Em G
From between his cold, blue lips
Am Em G x3
[VERSE 4]
C Em
Now my eyes were opened
F C
I stood up between the guns
Am F
I saw trails of smoke and fire
Em G Am Em G
Flying everywhere I looked
Am Em G
[VERSE 5]
C Em
Like hands of glowing light
F C
Trailing up from fallen peaches
Am F
And around the running fawns
Em G Am Em G
Leaping through the branches
Am Em G
[VERSE 6]
C Em
Across the corpses on the hills
F C
The sunset spread her flames
Am F
And her glowing fingers held me
Em G Am Em G
As they dug my shallow grave
[OUTRO]
Am Em G x 3
