..the sky soft .. love ..
Em
Can you tell us the place where
G D
The Elders chew the sky soft
Em
The place where love is like
G D
A perfect knee-quilled arrow
Em
Flown from bows of pure willow
D
And under the thundering roll of ghost buffalo
Em D
Oh, can't you can't you hear the world's heart breaking
(change of the right hand rythmic)
C G
For, it's a test of courage
Am
To kiss the snake-tongued people
G Am
The fork-tongued people owouwoho hoo
C G
And yes, it is a test of courage
Am
To kiss the snake-tongued people
G Am
The fork-tongued people owouwoho hoo
G Am
'Cause it's like two tongues, at one time
G Am
Like two tongues, at one time
G Am
It's like two tongues, at one time
G Am
Like two tongues, at one time
G Am
It's like two tongues, at one time
G Am
Like two tongues, at one time
G Am
Like bitter spirits and sweet wine
G Am
'Cause it's like two tongues, at one time
G Am
At one time

C G Am
So, pour all of your souls like magma into the caverns
C G Am
Pour all of your souls like magma into the caverns
G Am G Am
Pour 'em all for the hauntings, the hauntings, the hauntings
G Am G Am
And pour 'em all for the hauntings, the hauntings, the hauntings
G Am
And pour 'em all for the hauntings
G Am
And cool down for the hauntings
G Am
And harden for the hauntings
D Dm (x00775)
And now granite-soul
Em G
You're a hunter, hunter hunting
D
Children of the wild plains
Dm Em
And now granite-soul you're a hunter
G D
Your hunter hunting children of the wild plains
Dm
And if my great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmotha
Em G D
Could find them she would put all of their poisoned
Dm Em
All of their poisoned, poisoned teeth
G
In her medicine bag
D
In her medicine bag
Dm Em
She'd make a graph of our death-beat
G
Pulse, murmur quiet
D
Pulse, murmur quiet
<--------(stop picking)---------->
Like hiding pheasants in tall grass
(another change of the right hand rythmic)
(It's about like that...)

Em
Now there's faces in the rocks
D
And they're coming on strong
Em D
Faces in the rocks with medicine tongues
Em D
Faces in the rocks feels like a million to one
Em D
Woman and man in the moon with a cradle-board son
Em D
Oh, braided 'round close to all warmth is gone
D Em D
Gooo ohoho one
Em
So, here, take these blankets
Here, take these blankets
D
Here, take these blankets
Em
They're woven from the hair of the dead
Em
The hair from your sisters
Hair from your brothers
Hair from your lovers
Hair from the beavers
D
Hair from the otters
Em
The hair from your mothers
Hair from your fathers
Hair from your lovers
Hair from the beavers
D
Hair from the otters
(return of second picking ^^)
Dm(x00775) Em
And we, we saw through you
G D
Like a candle through a buffalo's eye
Dm Em
And we, we stood by you
G D
Like a mama bear shot with her cubs at her side
Dm Em
And we, we saw through you
G D
Like a candle through a buffalo's eye
