Chords with lyrics

Intro
DmDm A minorAm  DmDm FF

Verse
DmDm       A minorAm          DmDm
Seven Sundays, late for front steps
          FF       DmDm
Sitting warm in the midday block
         A minorAm       DmDm
Little bare feet, dirty forehead
           FF     DmDm
I can see where your train will stop

Verse
        A minorAm         DmDm
At the point of several mountains
         FF       DmDm
Sold from one to another tribe
       A minorAm
Just a basket baby waiting
DmDm        FF     DmDm
Towering at only three feet high

 C majorC   FF
I know "Take what you're given"
           DmDm
I know "Seen and not heard"
  C majorC    FF
You left me buckets of ribbons
             DmDm
Woven together by flying birds

Verse
         A minorAm      DmDm
Me and you crept on for hours
         FF        DmDm
Right behind the big blue house
         A minorAm        DmDm
All the roots of all her flowers
          FF     DmDm
So to feed all our creatures' mouths

Verse
      A minorAm            DmDm
She cried, "What have you done here?
         FF       DmDm
You girls are the devil's kind!"
    A minorAm       DmDm
I can't run any faster
        FF     DmDm
Leaving all the battles behind

Verse
       A minorAm       DmDm
After dinner, kitchen quiet
         FF       DmDm
Hot air from the dishes washed
         A minorAm        DmDm
Just a sink light buzzing brightly
          FF DmDm
In the front room, TV on

 C majorC   FF
I know "Take what you're given"
           DmDm
I know "Seen and not heard"
  C majorC    FF
You left me buckets of ribbons
             DmDm
Woven together by flying birds

Verse
           A minorAm     DmDm
And the church sings hallelujah
          FF        DmDm
When you're sitting still and right
        A minorAm          DmDm
Peering just between two shoulders
            FF      DmDm
Trying to see what the priest looks like

 C majorC    FF
I know and also have you
            DmDm
I know all things were made
   C majorC   FF
Lift me to heavier water
           DmDm
Just in case I can be saved

Verse
         A minorAm        DmDm
I will wait here one last morning
           FF      DmDm
Shield my eyes to the blazing sun
       A minorAm          DmDm
If I scan the streets for warning
          FF     DmDm
I can see when your train will come
