Sprout

C               Am            F 
She came in the night on the 
         C
ninth of October
      Am          C       F       
They looked me in my red eyes and 
 G              C
said she won't last
C                               
We all knew that she should've 
Am      F         C
slept until mid-December
         Am           C       
When it comes to the lot I have 
   F                G            C
learned, I can't count on the cast

      F              C
That night a vision came
F                     Am     
At the same time both vivid and 
    G
vague
      F             Am
Of a father looking on
      F                       Am  
As he burns to the ground the 
           G             G
house that he made

        C                Am       
When I woke, I had been slain in 
     F         C
the spirit of reason
Am   C            F            
Bap-tized in the rolling dark 
G         C
waters of doubt

'Cause I'm told it's your will to 
     Am       F               C
withhold, but it feels like treason
   Am           C         F      
A rain cloud refusing to pour in 
   G          C
a season of drought

That night a vision came
F                     Am     
At the same time both vivid and

vague
      F             Am
Of a father looking on

As he burns to the ground the 
           G             G
house that he made

    F            C
And I heard him say
       Am           C
It was well on its way
      F            Am
Just look how it swayed
         A#          F
How it crumbled and caved
         F     C/G          
As the crimson glow of the fire 
Am             C
caught his eye
         F             Am   C    
I could tell he could hear, as 
         G
well could I
       F              C       
That along with the crackle and 
   Am           C
growl of the fire
        F           Am   G
Came a call quite small from 
inside--
 G            F      Fm
I'm in here alive

     C              Am         
But now, a child is born, she is 
   F             C
bent but not broken
    Am      C            F
A spark, a seed and a sprout
  F7sus4        F
A miracle or catastrophe
      Am         C             F
This child who's orphaned her family
