Brooke Fraser - Crows Locusts Chords & Tabs

Key: C


Intro 1:

F   
It was the year
                          Am
The crows and the locusts came
    C                      G
The fields drained dry the rain
                       Dm
The fields are bleeding

Intro 2: Am C Csus4 C Dm 


Verse 1:
Am                         C    Csus4 C
"Daddy don't cry, it'll be alright"
Dm            Am 
She puts some water on the wound
And hums a little tune
          C                      G
While her courage puddles on the ground
F        Em    F
Pooling, pooling

Am                           C  Csus4 C                            
See the murder and the swarm descend
Dm      Am          
And the night is getting thick
The moon telling her tricks
      C                    G
She'd betray her every time

Chorus
           F   
It was the year
                          Am
The crows and the locusts came
    C                      G
The fields drained dry the rain
                     Dm
The fields are bleeding
           F
It was the age
                       Am
The foxes came for the fields
C                               G                         
We were bleeding as we bowed to kneel
                                 Dm
And prayed for mercy, prayed for mercy

    Am
The rumble is low and the heat is high
      F                                    Dm
Got a feeling that there's rain out in the oil black sky
      Am                              
Gonna chase away the devil when that sun does rise
      F
Gonna plead the blood
      F
Gonna plead the blood

Chorus
           F   
It was the year
                          Am

                                 Dm
And prayed for mercy, prayed for mercy

     Am 
She limps on up to the top of a mount
F                     Dm
Looks at the faltered harvest
           Am
Feels her sweat in the ground and the burn in her nose
        F                
And the knowing in her gut
            Dm
Something's still gonna grow

She ain't leaving 'till it does.



What can wash away my sin
Nothing but the blood
What can make me whole again
Nothing but the blood
