Grim Augury

Em
Both our families after gathering
We're cutting a baby out
With my grandmother's heirloom 
antler-handled carving knife
They were under her grand chandelier

Am
Where we all, together, have shared 
holiday dinner
           Em
But it was your father that was 
holding the knife
Dm
Yeah, I begged you not to make me 
tell ya
Am                            
Yeah, I pleaded with you to, to 
            Em
leave it alone


[Chorus]

Em
I told ya
I told you that you didn't want to 
know
What went on in my horrible dream


[Verse 2]

Am
I was peering in through the picture
 window
It was a heart-warming tableau
Em
Like a Norman Rockwell painting
Until I zoomed in
Dm
I was making noises in my sleep
Am
But you wouldn't believe me when I 
told ya
              Em
That I wasn't with someone in my 
dream
Dm                                
Catfish were wriggling in blood 
   Am
and gore in the kitchen sink

         Em
Yeah, I told ya
I told ya
I told you
Now sweetie, please promise me
That you won't sing
This sad song, grim augury
