Verse 2:
Dm
Starvation's running the sky
Gm
The days are hot, wells are dry
Fm
Picking off the common folk
Gm
Coming for their loved ones and their throats
Dm
Pray to last the night
Gm
But there's not much left to die
Fm
Famine circles, takes a bite

As hunger steals their life and their lives

The devils sit on white chairs

As the people sing to the wind

Verse 3:
Dm
Wealth sits on a throne
Gm
Here wells overflow
Fm
Lounging under money trees

Set to bring the whole world to its knees

It claims the air you breathe

And burns what it can't seize
Fm Gm
There no force as feverish as avarice, as greed
Prechorus:
Dm
The devils claim their saviours
Gm
As the people starve and spirits sing

Oh, the day will come

Oh, the woods will know
Bridge:
Dm
The dirt told the grass and the fields told the flowers
Dm
The folly of man
Dm
And those seated in power
Gm
Briars told branches and leaves told the trees
Fm
It takes one song
Fm
To break rich knees
Dm
Grove told the glen and the vale told the meadow
Dm
They sang the same song
Dm
And they let the noise echo
Gm
Streams told the rivers and hills told the mountains
Fm
'Til one angry girl
Heard the whisper of sound and
Dm
She could hear the earth
N.C.
Hear it screaming
Dm
Hear that hungry noise
N.C.
Ripe for feeding
Dm
She could hear the ground
N.C.
Hear its beating
Dm
Earth and Dirt were done
Dm
With their cheating
Gm
She packed up her gun
Gm
Joined in with the sound
Fm
Couldn't kill me then
Fm
And you can't kill me now
Chorus:
Dm
Oh, the day will come
F G
When your date's read
Dm
Hear that hungry noise
F G
See the hells fed
Dm
Oh, even the sun
F G
Knows what you said
Dm
Lay your head upon
F G
Dirt and deathbed
Bb
Oh, and then you'll run
G
But just so you know
G
Anywhere you go
G
Oh, the woods will know
