The Crow Song

E E B I saw the scatterlight streaming C#m A Down through the century trees E Bloodfern and juniper B E Sweeteye and shattercane weeds E B I saw the cloud from the cabin C#m A Slate rock and teeming with storm E B Carrion bird caught in the hearth C#m A And killed by collision with door A Feathers all over the floor E B I'll be home where I go C#m A I'll be home wherever I go E B E B I'll be home where I go someday E B Buckshot rang out in the distance C#m A Over and over again E River the moon shiver B E B I saw my sister jump in E B And I saw my brother in Dallas C#m A Quietly drunk every day E B Gentle and kind and lost in his mind C#m A And surprised when his wife went away E B And I saw the killers in costume C#m A And I saw their satellites burn E B And I saw them measure their money C#m A In whether they look like the people they hurt A Maybe that's just who we were E B I'll be home where I go C#m A I'll be home wherever I go E B E B I'll be home where I go someday E B I wake up staggering lonely C#m A Birdsong and particle air E Her letter in my jacket B E I carry myself down the stairs E B Lena she treated me easy C#m A She found me wherever I was E Bloodfern and juniper B Sweeteye and shattercane C#m A That never felt like enough A That never felt like enough E B I'll be home where I go C#m A I'll be home wherever I go E B E B I'll be home where I go someday E B I'll be home where I go C#m A I'll be home wherever I go E B E B E* I'll be home where I go someday
