 VERSE:
 
        C                
 In our days we will live
 em
 Like our ghosts will live
          Fadd11+                 C   
 Pitching glass at the cornfield crows
              G     
 And folding clothes
 
 Like stubborn boys across the road
 We'll keep everything
 Grandma's gun and the black bear claw
 That took her dog
 
 And when sister Lowery says "amen"
 We won't hear anything
 The ten-car train will take that word
 That fledgling bird
 
 And the fallen house across the way
 It'll keep everything
 The baby's breath
 Our bravery wasted and our shame
 
 REFRAIN:
 
              Fadd11+                     C    
 And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire
          Fadd11+                         G  
 Both our tender bellies wound in baling wire
        Fadd11+                     C    
 All the more a pair of underwater pearls
 Fadd11+ G (Lauf)
 Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern
 
 INSTRUMENTAL (VERSE)
 
 VERSE:
 
 In our days we will say
 What our ghosts will say
 "We gave the world what it saw fit
 And what'd we get?"
 
 Like stubborn boys with big green eyes
 We'll see everything
 In the timid shade of the autumn leaves
 And the buzzard's wing
 
 REFRAIN:
 
 And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire
 Our tender bellies all wound around in baling wire
 All the more a pair of underwater pearls
 Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern
