F 
Sea water is flowing from the 
G 
Middle of my thighs 
F 
Wild buffalo are dancing on 
G 
Cliff tops in the skies 

F 
Adorn me in feathers 
G 
From dead birds and 
Am 
Contemplate the size of 
Leather palettes to wind me in 
           Em                G 
Put shutters on my eyes 

F 
They'll cover the hills 
                  G 
With their sweet flesh 
And soft nails 
Am 
They'll cover the doors 
  
                      G   
With their screens that 
Their minds disposed 

F, G, Am, G 

F 
Write it down, write it down,  
                 G 
Down the names and dates 
Of the daughters 
           Am 
Who pour out of me 
                                  C 
Like grandmother's vines 

F 
They hang from the plates 
And my eyes see their  
G 
Pretty long lashes and beards 
F 
Guarding the reign of me from them 
                      Em 
Heedless, trembling toes 
G 
Gathering rain  
              Am 
In their sockets and creases and holes 
F 
They'll cover the hills 
                  G 
With their sweet flesh 
And soft nails 
Am 
They'll cover the doors 
  
                      G   
With their screens that 
Their minds disposed 

F 
They'll weave their own souls 
                G 
Into the frame to grow their foliage in 
F 
They'll sew their own hands 
G 
Into their beds to keep them crawlers out 
F 
To keep them crawlers out 
G 
To keep them crawlers out 
F 
To keep them crawlers out 
C 
Keep them crawlers out 
C 
Keep them crawlers out
