Resurrection Fern

[Intro] C  Em  F  C  G

[Primera Parte]

       C
In our days we will live
         Em
Like our ghosts will live
         F                     
Pitching glass at the cornfield 
 C
crows
            G
And folding clothes

[Segunda Parte]

              C
Like stubborn boys across the road
           Em
We'll keep everything
          F                     
Grandma's gun and the black bear 
 C
claw
              G
That took her dog

[Tercera Parte]

            C
When sister Laurie says, "Amen"
              Em
We won't hear anything
            F                     
The ten-car trains will take that 
C
word

               G
That fledgling bird

[Cuarta Parte]

               C
And the fallen house across the way
           Em
It'll keep everything
           F                  
The baby's breath. Our bravery 
 C
wasted
        G
and our shame

[Estribillo]

          F                        
And we'll undress beside the ashes 
       C
of the fire
         F                      
Both our tender bellies wound in 
        G
baling wire
        F                         
All the more a pair of underwater 
C
pearls
         F               
Than the oak tree and its 
              G

[Quinta Parte]

       C
In our days we will say
         Em
What our ghosts will say
            F                 C
We gave the world what it saw fit
              G
And what'd we get?

[Sexta Parte]

              C
Like stubborn boys with big green 
eyes
          Em
We'll see everything
              F                   
In the tender shade of the autumn 
C
leaves
                  G
And the buzzard's wing

[Estribillo]

           F                       
And we'll undress beside the ashes 
        C
of the fire
         F                      
Both our tender bellies wound in 
        G
baling wire
        F                         
All the more a pair of underwater 
C
pearls
         F               
Than the oak tree and its 
              G
