CAPO 3

The song uses a slight variation on 
travis picking. I'll start by 
tabbing out the fingerpicking 
pattern,
but I'll write out the majority with
 just chords. You can either strum 
or continue fingerpicking.

        VERSE

        C       G/B   Am
We came in this world together

G                       Am
Legs wrapped round each other

   F
My cheek against my sister's

        C         G/B     Am      
We were born like tangled vines
G    Am



       C       G/B     Am
And we lived along the river

          G                 
Where the black clouds never 
 Am
lingered

        F
And the sunlight spread like honey

           C        G/B  Am      
Through my sister's tiny hand
G    Am


Continúa después del anuncio
          C       G/B  Am
But while picking sour apples

       G           Am
In the wild waving grasses

       F
Sister stumbled in the briar

        C      G/B  Am      G    Am
And was bitten by a snake



        CHORUS

      G                Am
Every creature casts a shadow

          G            C
Under the sun's golden fingers

           G                  Am
And as the sun slips past the waving
 grass

     G                   Am       Am
Some shadows are dragged along

        VERSE

   C       G/B     Am
So alone I took to drinking

G                Am
Bottles of cheap whiskey

      F
And I staggered through the 
backwoods

        C             G/B       
Killing snakes with a sharpened 
Am     G    Am
stick


       C       G/B       Am
Oh but still I heard her laughing

       G           Am
In the wild waving grasses

          F
Still her tiny hands were splashing

       C       G/B       Am      
At the river's sparkling shore
G    Am



     C       G/B   Am
So I took my rusty gas can

       G        Am
And an old iron shovel

      F
And I set the woods to blaze

               C     G/B     Am  
And choked the river up with 
    G    Am
stones


        CHORUS

      G                Am
Every creature casts a shadow

          G            C
Under the sun's golden fingers

           G                  Am
And as the sun slips past the waving
 grass

     G                   Am
Some shadows are dragged along
