Sweetgrass chords by Lauren Shera

Verse 1:


C                Am
Cut my teeth on sweetgrass

        F    Dm
Still I have

               C
This taste for bitterness

      F   Dm
Maybe I

      C
Was born with it

C                 Am
Rains of milk and honey

      F Dm
Could run

          C
Through my body

          F    Dm
Sweetest ghosts

            C
Could haunt me

F   Am
Ohhhhhh

C  G
Ohhhhhh

Verse 2:


C                   Am
Have you seen her fire

        F     Dm
Cutting through

     C
Wild forest

        F     Dm
Burning heart

          C
Has forced it


           F               C
Pleading, "Save me from myself"

     F                  C
Oh I fear I'll hurt someone else


       F             G
And my flames grow so tall

        F         G
I can't see you at all

   Dm          G
Send help

Bridge:


F   C
Way up

       F            C G  F
In the deep, in the dark sea

No one will follow me

No one will follow me
