Every now and then Emily will take off the pinky and play the Cmaj7/G chord at the end of the verse
lines. Just doing it when it sounds good.

[Verse]
A7 C/G
Head was hung low and your sound was much older
A7 C/G
But as record spins, time tip toes bye
A7 C/G
Bones on a thread, fall from your shoulders
A7 C/G
Stitching the seam between the earth and the sky
[Instrumental Break]
|A7 C/G Cmaj7/G| x2
[Verse]
A7 C/G
Your wearing the soul of a coal miners daughter
A7 C/G
Down in a hole singing your song
A7 C/G
Or kicking the wheel back in some holler
A7 C/G
Patching up holes in the setting sun
[Chorus]
C/G G D/F# Em
We are the ones that hang by the needle
C/G G D/F#
Stuck in a grove cut by your hand
C/G G D/F# Em
Wrapped in a cloak, safe in a shadow
C/G G D/F#
Cavalry's arch cast on the land
[Instrumental Break]
|A7sus2 A7*||A7 C/G Cmaj7/G| x2 |A7sus2|
A7 C/G
Cracks in the sound and the hiss of a silence
A7 C/G
The kiss of death then the palest blue
A7 C/G
Seventh horse that road for to warn us
A7 C/G
Morphine girl and the sorta truth
[Chorus]
C/G G D/F# Em
We are the ones that hang by the needle
C/G G D/F#
Stuck in a grove cut by your hand
C/G G D/F# Em
Wrapped in a cloak, safe in a shadow
C/G G D/F#
Cavalry's arch cast on the land
