Iron & Wine - Grass widows

We found each ^Gmother blown between the trees Waning ^Cmmoons wanting to be swallowed by the sea ^EbLike we finally saw the ^Dmcolors of the ^Gmworld

We grew the ^Gmgarden snake within the weeds Laid each ^Cmother long across a flat back street ^EbLike we finally saw the ^Dmcolors of the ^Gmworld

We felt the ^Gmsun leave us for the west Little ^Cmlips always falling farther from the breast ^EbLike we finally saw the ^Dmcolors of the ^Gmworld

We ran a ^Gmwhite flag up the mast Puckered ^Cmup like a widow dreaming in the grass ^EbLike we finally saw the ^Dmcolors of the ^Gmworld

Like we saw ^Bbblack, like we saw ^Fblack and blue You ^Ebpressed a pillow full of ^Dmsnow on my ^Gmbruise Like we saw ^Bbblack, like we saw ^FGod green too You ^Ebsaw an awful but it's ^Dmover too ^Gmsoon

Like we saw ^Bbblack running around ^Fred ripe vines I ^Ebfound you in the folds of the ^Dmlonely red ^Gmnight Like we saw ^Bbblack, lying in ^Fgolden white light ^EbLonely so you tried to ^Dmlove me all ^Gmright

We threw our ^Gmmoney to the river stones Led each ^Cmother through the woods to wander back alone ^EbLike we finally saw the ^Dmcolors of the ^Gmworld

We let the ^Gmtaste linger in the mouth South Chic^Cmago never gave us more to sing about ^EbLike we finally saw the ^Dmcolors of the ^Gmworld
