IN AN OPEN FIELD AT DUSK
TO FOOTFALLS I AWOKE
MARCHING ANTS ACROSS MY TEMPLES, OH
G
THEIR FEET HAD NO INTENTION
THEY FOLLOWED SOME MAGNETIC DRUM
Em Asus2 Em
PRISONERS OF THEIR DESTINATION
VERSE 1:
G
FROM THE SLATS OF THE FACTORY COME
WHERE ONCE THEY DID MAKE RAILS
OLD DEATH'S PECULIAR SONGS
C Am
HE DIDN'T KNOW I WAS LISTENING
VERSE 2:
G
SO HE CROWED OUT NICE AND LONG
Am G*
TO THE SPIDERS AND THE LUMBER AND THE DUST
Am D Em
OF HIS CONQUESTS AND HIS HUNGER, HIS LUST
VERSE 3:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/n/neko_case/fever_crd.html ]
G
I HEARD HIS FEET REJOICE
I HEARD HIM TAP HIS CANE
Am
AS IF HE HAD HIS OWN REVIEW
D
ON STAGE AT THE ATHENAEUM
VERSE 4:
Em G*
I CAUGHT HIS WORDS WITH MY OPEN MOUTH
Em G*
I GAGGED AND CHOKED AND SPIT THEM OUT
Em G*
I HEARD HIM TURN AS HE DID HEAR
C Am
MY TINY HEARTBEAT IN HIS EAR
Em
I WAS ALREADY RUNNING
I HEARD HIM COMING
VERSE 5:
Em G*
SHRAPNEL SPITTING FROM HIS WHEELS
Em G*
HIS SCYTHING ARMS RAKE FOR MY HEELS
Em G*
I DOVE AND ROLLED AND HID MY FACE
Am Em
AND I SAID THESE MAGIC WORDS:
CHORUS:
Am C Em
"MY DOVE IS HOME, HER BREAST IS WARM, MY DOVE IS HOME"
G
I SAID THESE MAGIC WORDS AND
Am
FELL DOWN, DOWN, THE ANTHILL
Em
FOR DAYS
Am C Em
"MY DOVE IS HOME, HER BREAST IS WARM, MY DOVE IS HOME"
Am C Em
"MY DOVE IS HOME, HER BREAST IS WARM, MY DOVE IS HOME"
