The Sunken Lands.
Rosanne Cash.
Album: The River & The Thread.
Capo 2.

A minorAm  G+G    C majorC
Five cans of paint,
    G+G
And the empty fields,
    DmDm      A minorAm
And the dust reveals.

A minorAm    G+G  C majorC
The children cry,
  G+G
The work never ends,
       DmDm      A minorAm
There's not a single friend.

F6F6        G+G
Who will hold her hand,
    C majorC   DmDm  A minorAm G+G C majorC G+G Dm7Dm7 A minorAm
In the sunken lands?

A minorAm   G+G  C majorC
The mud and tears,
     G+G
Melt the cotton balls,
    DmDm    A minorAm
It's a heavy toll.

A minorAm    G+G  C majorC
His words are cruel,
     G+G
And they sting like fire,
     DmDm      A minorAm
Like the devil's choir.

F6F6          G+G
But who will hold her hand,
    C majorC   DmDm
In the sunken lands?

A minorAm G+G C majorC G+G DmDm A minorAm G+G C majorC G+G G minorGm A minorAm

A minorAm   G+G  C majorC
The river rises,
    G+G
And she sails away,
     DmDm    A minorAm
She could never stay.

A minorAm   G+G    C majorC
Now her work is done,
    G+G
In the sunken lands,
       A minorAm     G+G C majorC G+G DmDm FF A minorAm Am7Am7 A augmentedA A minorAm
There's five empty cans.
