Text File

I picked up "The Shepherd's Dog" album today and am really enjoying it.  This is the 
beautiful song on the album.  This tab is based on the album.  Tabbed by adamstarr from MN.

The verse chord progression goes like this this:
       F        Am        Bb9        C
e|--|--1--|---|--0--|---|--1--|---|--0--|--|
B|--|--1--|---|--1--|---|--1--|---|--1--|--|
G|--|--2--|---|--2--|---|--3--|---|--0--|--|
D|--|--3--|---|--2--|---|--3--|---|--2--|--|
A|--|--3--|---|--0--|---|--1--|---|--3--|--|
E|--|--1--|---|-----|---|-----|---|-----|--|

The fingering pattern and the hammer-on's are pretty easy
to figure out.  It's always fun to mix up the pattern and
make it your own, too.

The chorus chord progression goes like this:
      Bb9        F        Bb9        C
e|--|--1--|---|--1--|---|--1--|---|--0--|--|
B|--|--1--|---|--1--|---|--1--|---|--1--|--|
G|--|--3--|---|--2--|---|--3--|---|--0--|--|
D|--|--3--|---|--3--|---|--3--|---|--2--|--|
A|--|--1--|---|--3--|---|--1--|---|--3--|--|
E|--|-----|---|--1--|---|-----|---|-----|--|

Verse 1

In our days we will live
Like our ghosts will live
Pitching glass at the cornfield crows
And folding clothes

Verse 3

Like stubborn boys across the road
We'll keep everything:
Grandma's gun and the black bear claw
That took her dog

Verse 3

When sister Laurie says, "Amen"
We won't hear anything:
The ten-car trains will take that word
That fledgling bird

Verse 4

And the fallen house across the way
It'll keep everything:
The baby's breath
Our bravery wasted and our shame

Chorus

And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire
Both our tender bellies wound in baling wire
All the more a pair of underwater pearls
Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern

Verse 5

In our days we will say
What our ghosts will say:
We gave the world what it saw fit
And what'd we get?

Verse 6

Like stubborn boys with big green eyes
We'll see everything:
In the tender shade of the autumn leaves
And the buzzard's wing

Chorus

And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire
Our tender bellies are wound around in baling wire
All the more a pair of underwater pearls
Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern

Then Sam plays the verse chords once more and ends on an F.


Beautiful song.
