The Steeldrivers - Sticks that made thunder

My ^Amroots are deeper than the bones than the others My ^Ecolors that change with the sun My ^Ambranches we're higher than anything on the hillside On the ^Emday that I watched them all come

Some ^Amwear the color of the sky in the winter Some, ^Ewere as blue as the night They ^Amcame like a storm with the light of the morn And they f^Emell through the whole day and night

The ^Gcolors flew high and they ^Ddanced in the sky As I ^Emwatched them come over the ^Chill ^GThen to my wonder sticks that made thunder Such a ^Emgreat number lay ^Cstill

When ^Amthe light came again there was death on the wind As ^Ethe buzzards made way for the worms And ^Amthe little white trees that don't bend in the breeze For the ^Emones that will never return

The ^Gcolors flew high and they ^Ddanced in the sky As I ^Emwatched them come over the ^Chill ^GThen to my wonder sticks that made thunder Such a ^Emgreat number lay ^Cstill

Those ^Amthat have fallen, come when I call them And ^Eanswer the best that they can But ^Amall they can see is what they used to be And that's ^Emall that they understand

The ^Gcolors flew high and they ^Ddanced in the sky As I ^Emwatched them come over the ^Chill ^GThen to my wonder sticks that made thunder Such a ^Emgreat number lay ^Cstill
