The Handsome Family — Fallen Peaches
Am Em G x 4 C Em We came down a black dirt hill F C Between the rows of blooming peaches Am F And we scattered leaping fawns Em G Am Gm As we fell into the ditches AEG C Em Ahead of me ran Jackson F C Who took a bullet to the chest Am F And beneath the swaying peaches Em G Am Gm Jackson slowly bled to death AEG C Em But as his green eyes dimmed F C I saw a fiery mist Am F Drift softly to the clouds Em G Am Gm From between his cold, blue lips Am Em G x3 C Em Now my eyes were opened F C I stood up between the guns Am F I saw trails of smoke and fire Em G Am Gm Flying everywhere I looked AEG C Em Like hands of glowing light F C Trailing up from fallen peaches Am F And around the running fawns Em G Am Gm Leaping through the branches AEG C Em Across the corpses on the hills F C The sunset spread her flames Am F And her glowing fingers held me Em G Am Gm As they dug my shallow grave Am Em G x 3 C
