My Sisters Tiny Hands chords by The Handsome Family

Chords with lyrics

[Intro]
A minorAm

C majorC        G+G    A minorAm
We came in this world together

G+G            A minorAm
Legs wrapped 'round each other

FF
My cheek against my sister's

     C majorC    G+G    A minorAm
We were born like tangled vine

C majorC     G+G     A minorAm
We lived along the river

     G+G          A minorAm
Where the black clouds never lingered

   FF
The sunlight spread like honey

      C majorC    G+G  A minorAm
Through my sister's tiny hands

C majorC         G+G   A minorAm
But while picking sour apples

  G+G        A minorAm
In the wild waving grasses

    FF
Sister stumbled in the brier

    C majorC   G+G  A minorAm
And was bitten by a snake

[Bridge]
FF A minorAm


[Chorus]
G+G           A minorAm
Every creature casts a shadow

G+G            C majorC
Under the sun's golden finger
G+G                A minorAm
But when the sun sinks past the waving grass

G+G             A minorAm
Some shadows are dragged along

C majorC    G+G    A minorAm
Alone, I took to drinking

G+G        A minorAm
Bottles of cheap whiskey

   FF
And staggering through the back woods

     C majorC      G+G     A minorAm
Killing snakes with a sharpened stick

C majorC      G+G     A minorAm
But still I heard her laughing

    G+G       A minorAm
In the wild waving grasses

     FF
Still her tiny hands went splashing

    C majorC    G+G    A minorAm
At the river's sparkling shore

C majorC      G+G   A minorAm
So I took my rusty gas can

G+G        A minorAm
And an old iron shovel

  FF
I set the woods to burning

        C majorC  G+G    A minorAm
And choked the river up with stones


[Bridge]
FF A minorAm


[Chorus]
G+G           A minorAm
Every creature casts a shadow

G+G            C majorC
Under the sun's golden finger

G+G                A minorAm
But when the sun sinks past the waving grass

G+G             A minorAm
Some shadows are dragged along
