[Intro]
[Chords relative to Capo on 5th fret]
Bm E D/F#
Cadd9 D5 Em
Dsus2
[Verse 1]
BmAs if you know the Estory of Wallowa D/F#Lake
Leviathan first Cadd9hid in the D5deep where her Emchildren sleep
She kept them Dsus2hidden from the plague
BmBut have you heard the Estory of my mother's D/F#fate?
She left us in Cadd9Detroit in the D5rain with a Empillowcase
Fortune Dsus2for the paperweight
[Verse 2]
BmWe followed her to EJoseph, near the Indian D/F#raid
She wept among the Cadd9weeds, hide and D5seek, for the Emfallen chief
SpathiDsus2phyllum on his grave
BmAnd like the cedar Ewaxwing, she was drunk all D/F#day
We put her in the Cadd9sheet, little D5wreath, candles Emon the crate
As the Dsus2monster showed its face
[Chorus 1]
AAs she Gwaits for her children in the shade
FDemogorgon or Emdemigod the ghost parade
FNo oblation will Cbring her back to our Aplace
[Interlude]
[Starts with the A chord over 'place']
A E G D F C D
[Verse 3]
BmShe stayed within the Edeep end of Wallowa D/F#Lake
The undertow Cadd9refrained with the D5flame of a Emfeathered snake
Charybdis Dsus2in its shallow grave
BmShe gave us one last Efeature, the fullness of her D/F#face
In the shade of "Cadd9Hin-mah-too-D5yah", Red NaEmpoleon
As the Dsus2demon took her place
[Chorus 2]
AAs we Gwait for the waters to reside
FHer remarkable Emstoicism and her pride
FWhen the dragon submerged we Cknew she had Adied
