Sweetgrass

Tom: C

C                Am
Cut my teeth on sweetgrass
        F    Dm
Still I have
               C
This taste for bitterness
      F   Dm
Maybe I
      C
Was born with it

C                 Am
Rains of milk and honey
      F Dm
Could run
          C
Through my body
          F    Dm
Sweetest ghosts
            C
Could haunt me

[Vocalization]

F   Am
Ohhhhhh
C  G
Ohhhhhh

[Verse 2]

C                   Am
Have you seen her fire
        F     Dm
Cutting through
     C
Wild forest
        F     Dm
Burning heart
          C
Has forced it

           F               C
Pleading, "Save me from myself"
     F                  C
Oh I fear I'll hurt someone else

       F             G
And my flames grow so tall
        F         G
I can't see you at all
   Dm          G
Send help

[Bridge]

F   C
Way up
       F            C G  F
In the deep, in the dark sea

C           G      F
No one will follow me
C           G   F
No one will follow me

[Instrumental]

Am  G

[Verse 1  Reprise]

C                    Am
Cut my teeth on sweetgrass
         F  Dm
Still I have
               C
This taste for bitterness
           F Dm
Think that I
      C
Was born with it
