VERSE C G Am We came in this world together G Am Legs wrapped round each other F My cheek against my sister's C G Am G Am We were born like tangled vines C G Am And we lived along the river G Am Where the black clouds never lingered F And the sunlight spread like honey C G Am G Am Through my sister's tiny hand C G Am But while picking sour apples G Am In the wild waving grasses F Sister stumbled in the briar C G Am G Am And was bitten by a snake Chorus G Am Every creature casts a shadow G C Under the sun's golden fingers G Am And as the sun slips past the waving grass G Am Some shadows are dragged along VIOLIN SOLO C G Am G Am F C G Am G Am VERSE C G Am So alone I took to drinking G Am Bottles of cheap whiskey F And I staggered through the backwoods C G Am G Am Killing snakes with a sharpened stick C G Am Oh but still I heard her laughing G Am In the wild waving grasses F Still her tiny hands were splashing C G Am G Am At the river's sparkling shore C G Am So I took my rusty gas can G Am And an old iron shovel F And I set the woods to blaze C G Am G Am And choked the river up with stones Chorus G Am Every creature casts a shadow G C Under the sun's golden fingers G Am And as the sun slips past the waving grass G Am Some shadows are dragged along
