verse 1 
G                          C   Em 
Wrapped in the wings of a sparrow 
F                      C  Cmaj7 
Beak is as sharp as an arrow 
G                     C   Em 
Sings in a whispering whistle 
F                     C   Cmaj7 
Sleeps in the ivy and thistle 
G                     C   Em 
Owls out swooping and howling 
F                      C   Cmaj7 
Deep in the midnight a-prowling 
G                       C  Em 
Mama, the scream of the eagle 
F                              C  Cmaj7 
Threading my heart through the needle 
G                               C Em 
Threading the blood through the apple 
F                          C Cmaj7 
Sucking the juice from the apple 
G                       C Em 
Eating the seeds of the apple 
F                       C Cmaj7 
Bearing the tree of the apple 
G                            C   Em 
Trapped in the weeds like a scarecrow 
F                      C  Cmaj7 
Stuck to the wind like Velcro 
G                     C    Em 
Distantly hearing the bell toll 
F                          C  Cmaj7 
Warbling chime through the meadow 

verse 2 
G                       C  Em 
Mama, the scream of the eagle 
F                              C  Cmaj7 
Threading my heart through the needle 
G                               C Em 
Threading the blood through the apple 
F                             C Cmaj7 
Eve sucked the juice from the apple 
G                  C   Em 
Nakedly running, I saw her 
F                     C    Cmaj7 
Boy chasing after to stall her 
  G                       C    Em 
I wish I'd have spoken to call her 
  F                        C     Cmaj7 
Before she found fabric to shawl her 
G                               C Em 
Breasts bound and burdened with fiber 
F                      C   Cmaj7 
Adam came trembling beside her 
       Cmaj7 
And he said, and he said 
     G                    C   Em 
That she has the poison inside her 
F                            C    Cmaj7 
She talks to snakes and they guide her 
G                    C    Em 
She has the poison inside her 
F                            C    Cmaj7 
She talks to snakes and they guide her 
G                    C    Em 
She has the poison inside her 
F                            C     Cmaj7 
She talks to snakes and they guide her 
G                    C    Em 
She has the poison inside her 
F                            C     Cmaj7 
She talks to snakes and they guide her
