(C majorC)        (G+G)       (FF)     (A minorAm)
Awake through the night, and this flood water 'round her
(C majorC)        (G+G)    (C majorC)     (G+G)
Reminds her of the time and low country boys
(FF)        (A minorAm)        (C majorC)      (G+G)
And their bottles without her, though she's on their minds


(C majorC)      (G+G)     (FF)     (A minorAm)
Hands in black mud, at the foot of the manger
(C majorC)       (G+G)    (C majorC)    (G+G)
She'll always be young and free to be wrong
    (FF)      (A minorAm)     (C majorC)      (G+G)
A augmentedA black lamb licks the dirt off her feet with it's tongue

    (FF)      (C majorC)     (A minorAm)     (C majorC)     (G+G)
We are blessed, aren't we, in the shade of these large auburn leaves
   (FF) (C majorC)  (A minorAm)       (C majorC)     (G+G)
Unexpectedly we arrive where we’re all meant to be


(C majorC)        (G+G)       (FF)     (A minorAm)
Awake through the night, and she prays in the morning
(C majorC)        (G+G)    (C majorC)     (G+G)
For distance from harm and low country boys
(FF)        (A minorAm)       (C majorC)      (G+G)
With their wealth of protection and mean battle-arms


(C majorC)        (G+G)   (FF)    (A minorAm)
Hands in black mud, as she sits by the manger
  (C majorC)    (G+G)    (C majorC)     (G+G)
And closes her eyes, the wind blows outside
    (FF)     (A minorAm)    (C majorC)     (G+G)
A augmentedA black car pulls the gravel and wants her to ride


  (C majorC)     (G+G)      (FF)       (A minorAm)
So who will she love, with her head lowed like ashes,
  (C majorC)    (G+G)    (C majorC)     (G+G)
The sky lost tonight, the wind blows outside
    (FF)     (A minorAm)    (C majorC)     (G+G)
A augmentedA glass jar in the window, her shape blocks the candle light


    (FF)      (C majorC)     (A minorAm)     (C majorC)     (G+G)
We are blessed, aren't we, in the shade of these large auburn leaves
   (FF) (C majorC)  (A minorAm)       (C majorC)     (G+G)
Unexpectedly we arrive where we’re all meant to be
