Intro: Am Em G (x4) 

         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     Em G  
As we fell into the ditches 

Am Em G 

  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   Em G 
Jackson slowly bled to death 

Am Em G 

    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  Em G 
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    Em G 
Flying everywhere I looked 

Am Em G 

      C                Em 
Like hands of glowing light 
          F               C 
Trailing up from fallen peaches 
      Am                F 
And around the running fawns 
 Em        G          Am     Em G 
Leaping through the branches 

Am Em G 

            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   Em G 
As they dug my shallow grave 

Am Em G (x3)
