C Am
Heart-carved tree trunk Yankee bayonet
C Am
A sweetheart left behind
C Am
Far from the hills of the sea-swelled Carolinas
C Am
That's where my true love lies
C Am C Am
oh oh oh ooohh oh oh oh
C Am
Look for me when the sun-bright swallow
C Am
Sings upon the birch bough high
C Am
But you are in the ground with the voles and the weevils
C Am
All a'chew upon bones so dry
Chorus:
A C
But when the sun breaks
A C G
To no more bulletin battle-cry
A C
Then will you make a grave
A F
For I will be home then
G
I will be home then
F
I will be home then
G
I will be home then
C
Then
When I was a girl how the hills of Oconee
Made a seam to hem me in
There at the fair when our eyes caught careless
Got my heart right pierced by a pin
But oh did you see all the dead of Manassas
All the bellies and the bones and the bile
Though I lingered here with the blankets barren
And my own belly big with child
But when the sun breaks
To no more bulletin battle-cry
Then will you make a grave
For I will be home then
I will be home then
I will be home then
I will be home then
--------------------------------------------
F G
Stems and bones and stone walls too
F
keep me from you
E
Scaly skin is all too few
G C
To keep me from you
-------------------------------------------
*Returns to regular chord pattern (C Am C Am):*
But oh my love though our bodies may be parted
Though our skin may not touch skin
Look for me with the sun-bright sparrow
I will come on the breath of the wind
C Am C Am
oh oh oh ooohh oh oh oh
