E  D           A   B            E   
  Wind out of Oklahoma this morning
D              A       B        E  D
Smelled like blood an smoke
                   A        B
And the crows discuss their future in the
F#                  A         B        E
branches of their Louisiana Live Oak
     D        A          B
The limbs are strong and heavy and its
E      D           A    B    E
  Leaves are all aglow
D                  A            B
And the branches brush the upper air
        F#                           A          B
But the roots reach down to were the bad people go

    A                   B                E
And what will I do with you, pink and blue?

C#m    A
True gold.

B          E    D  A  B
Nine days old.

  Nice new clothes on you
        E      D             A          B
And an old cardboard produce box for a cradle
   E          D               A    B
I mashed some bananas in a coffee cup
         F#                 A        B
And I fed you there at the kitchen table
E    D               A      B
  Crows outside complaining about the
E     D               A  B       E
Finer points of local politics
       D          A          B
Strange wind all full of new smells
F#                 A       B
Rust and fur and reception sticks

    A                   B               E
And what will I do with you, pink and blue?
C#m    A
True gold.
B          E     D  A  B
Nine days old.
