Em
when you were a child,
C/G
you were a tomboy
Em
and your mother laughed at the 
serious way
C/G
that you looked at her
                        D*
and from your window at night
                             Em
there were the star’s little fires
               C/G D*
and the armory lights


[Verse 2]

Em
you were tracing the lines
                     C/G
of a globe with your fingers:
Em
cool rivers, white wastes
       C/G
desert shores, and the forest green

                 D*
and a limitless life
                      Em
in the breath of each tide
                          C/G D*
and each bright mountain, rising


[Interlude]

Em C/G
if you like play Em on the 7th fret 
sometimes


[Verse 3]
Em                   C/G
but now the boys are away,
                           Em
and such kicks they are having;
                            C/G
slashing away at the forest walls, 
with their bitter knives.
                      D*
sparks bloom in their eyes,
                    Em
and they never look tired.
                     C/G D*
will they never look tired?


Em                                
on cliffs that tower from the 
   C/G
rising seas their bonfire glow
              Em
where a tiger lies and, cleaning 
their weapons,
                   C/G
they laugh at his useless claws, and
 all:
                  D*
it is a beautiful night
      Em
to be born to this life
              C/G                 D*
and grind his every bone to powder!

Em C D all as power chords

Em             C/G
do you remember
   Em             C/G
do you remember

Em
she carried you down to the edge
       C/G       D*
of the dark river
C/G
and said:
                    D*
though the water is wide,
                    C/G
you will never grow tired
                      D*
you are bound to your life
                   C/G
like a mother and child.
                      D*
you will cling to your life
                 C/G
like a suckering vine
                         D*
and like the rest of our kind
         Em
you will increase
C/G D*
and increase

Em C/G
