G Am C x2 the money came and she died in her rocking chair the window wide and the rain in her braided hair a letter locked in the pattern of her knuckle like a hymn to the house she was making G Am C x2

G Am C x2 she kissed him once cause he gave her a cigarette and turned around but he waits like a turned down bed and summer left like her walking with another and a sound of a church bell ringing G Am C x2 the money came and he died like a butterfly a buried star and the haze of the city lights a gun went off and her mother dropped her baby on the blue feathered wing - we were lucky G Am C x2

^Gblind and whistling ju^Amst around the c^Corner and there's a ^Gwind that is w^Amhispering ^Csomething ^Gstrong as hell but not h^Amickory r^Cooted
