My Sister's Tiny Hands - Andrew Bird
Written by The Handsome Family
Things Are Really Great Here, Sort Of
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
We came Cin this Gworld Amtogether
GLegs wrapped round each Amother
My Fcheek against my sister's
We were Cborn like Gtangled Amvines G Am
And we Clived alGong the Amriver
Where the Gblack clouds never Amlingered
And the Fsunlight spread like honey
Through my Csister's Gtiny Amhand G Am
But while Cpicking Gsour Amapples
In the Gwild waving Amgrasses
Sister Fstumbled in the briar
And was Cbitten Gby a Amsnake G Am
CHORUS
Every Gcreature casts a Amshadow
Under the Gsun's golden Cfingers
And as the Gsun slips past the Amwaving grass
Some Gshadows are dragged Amalong
VIOLIN SOLO
C G Am G Am F C G Am G Am
VERSE
So Calone I Gtook to Amdrinking
GBottles of cheap Amwhiskey
And I Fstaggered through the backwoods
Killing Csnakes with a Gsharpened Amstick G Am
Oh but Cstill I Gheard her Amlaughing
In the Gwild waving Amgrasses
Still her Ftiny hands were splashing
At the Criver's Gsparkling Amshore G Am
So I Ctook my Grusty Amgas can
And an Gold iron Amshovel
And I Fset the woods to blaze
And choked the Criver Gup with Amstones G Am
CHORUS
Every Gcreature casts a Amshadow
Under the Gsun's golden Cfingers
And as the Gsun slips past the Amwaving grass
Some Gshadows are dragged Amalong
