Verse:
Cadd9 Am
Heart-carved tree trunk, Yankee bayonet
Cadd9 Am
A sweetheart left behind
Cadd9 Am
Far from the hills and the sea-swal'ed Carolinas
Cadd9 Am
That's where my true love lies
Cadd9, Am
Look for me when the sun-bright swallow
Sings upon the birch-bough high
But you are in the ground with the voles and the weevils
All a'chew 'pon your bones so dry
Cadd9, Am
Chorus:
A Cmaj7
But when the sun breaks
A C G
To no more bullets in Battle Creek
A Cmaj7
Then will you make a grave
A F
For I will be home then
Gsus4
I will be home then
F
I will be home then
Gsus4
I will be home then
Then
(Intro riff)
When I was a girl how the hills of Oconee
Made a seam to hem me in
There at the fair when our eyes caught, careless
Got my heart right pierced by a pin
But oh, did you see all the dead of Manassas
All the bellies and the bones and the bile
No, I lingered here with the blankets barren
And my own belly big with child
But when the sun breaks
To no more bullets in Battle Creek
Then will you make a grave
For I will be home then
I will be home then
I will be home then
I will be home then
F G
And stems and bones and stone walls too
G
Could keep me from you
F E
This skein of skin is all too few
G
To keep me from you
(Intro riff)
But oh my love, though our bodies may be parted
Though our skin may not touch skin
Look for me with the sun-bright sparrow
I will come on the breath of the wind
