D Bm
O Brother I have seen the day and I found you there
D Bm
In the inky clouds, in the dunes, in the cold cold air
G Bm
cut off by the tide, back to land we run
G
scattering ripples, leaving footprints
Bm
spreading out under the sun
D Bm
And when I came to the town in the night
D Bm
I saw you in the rain, in the juddering streetlights
G Bm
signs turn red and green and wait for no-one
G STOP....... 4 notes leading to Bm
O Brother I have stalled......
G Bm
The water was muddied when the silt mushroomed
G Bm
and the stream became unclear when the dirt got moved
D Bm
So, shake the tree, there are cherries left to pick
D Bm
Go on, eat your fill, but leave a bit
G Bm
For fortune's fit and we are ripening
G Bm
For fortune's fit and we are ripening
O Sister
D Bm
Dreamed our house had burnt down and we'd moved away
D Bm
cracked the patio, shifted stones to make carrot space
G Bm
But still the hum buzzed and loomed and weaved its way
G E D
On the bridge sets the sun, I cry, remember home
D Bm
Water runs rings round, peas are reaching high
D Bm
and the good light rains down though the girls get lost sometimes
G Bm
Beans shoot and dry and wither on the vine
G
Then rain feeds flesh feeds rain feeds flesh
E
Flame licks wood feeds fire
D Bm D (x 8) Three notes bit
Slower bit
D Bm (x4)
D Bm D
Sweet dead wood
D Bm
Slowly mend our bones
D Bm
Slowly mend our bones
D Bm D
Sweet dead wood
D Bm
Slowly mend our bones

Slowly mend our bones
