Iron & Wine - Resurrection Fern

      
 
 I picked up "The Shepherd's Dog" album today and am really enjoying it. This is the
 
 The verse chord progression goes like this this:
 F Am Bb9 C 
     

 e|--|--1--|---|--0--|---|--1--|---|--0--|--|

 The fingering pattern and the hammer-on's are pretty easy
 to figure out. It's always fun to mix up the pattern and
 make it your own, too.

 Verse 1
 
 In our days we will live
 Like our ghosts will live
 Pitching glass at the cornfield crows
 And folding clothes
 
 Verse 3
 
 Like stubborn boys across the road
 We'll keep everything:
 Grandma's gun and the black bear claw
 That took her dog
 
 Verse 3
 
 When sister Laurie says, "Amen"
 We won't hear anything:
 The ten-car trains will take that word
 That fledgling bird
 
 Verse 4
 
 And the fallen house across the way
 It'll keep everything:
 The baby's breath
 Our bravery wasted and our shame
 
 Chorus
 
 And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire
 Both our tender bellies wound in baling wire
 All the more a pair of underwater pearls
 Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern
 
 Verse 5
 
 In our days we will say
 What our ghosts will say:
 We gave the world what it saw fit
 And what'd we get?
 
 Verse 6
 
 Like stubborn boys with big green eyes
 We'll see everything:
 In the tender shade of the autumn leaves
 And the buzzard's wing
 
 Chorus
 
 And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire
 Our tender bellies are wound around in baling wire
 All the more a pair of underwater pearls
 Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern
 
 Then Sam plays the verse chords once more and ends on an F.
 
 Beautiful song.
