Biography:
Sparklehorse was an American alternative rock band formed in 1995 and led by Mark Linkous (September 9, 1962 - March 6, 2010), a Richmond, Virginia native and last of a long line of southern coalminers. Linkous recorded much of Sparklehorse's material in his home studio, and his Southern Gothic vision guided Sparklehorse. Drummer and multi-instrumentalist Scott Minor was a frequent collaborator.

[Intro]:
Em Dsus2 Cadd9
Em Dsus2 Cadd9
I will return here one day
Em Dsus2 Cadd9
And dig up my boots from the clay
Em Dsus2 Cadd9
I buried nails and strings and hair
Em Dsus2 Cadd9
And that old tooth I believe was a bear's
Am Dsus2 Cadd9 G G/F#
I held my hand in the fire
Am Dsus2 Cadd9
It burned me down to the wires
Em Dsus2 Cadd9
Blood suckers hide beneath my bed
Em Dsus2 Cadd9
In black fumes of sleep so gently bled
Em Dsus2 Cadd9
Slept with a cat on my breast
Em Dsus2 Cadd9
Slowing my heart, stealing my breath
Am Dsus2 Cadd9 G G/F#
At sunrise the monkeys will fly
Am Dsus2 Cadd9
And leave me with pennies in my eyes
Em Dsus2 Cadd9
I will return here one day
Em Dsus2 Cadd9
And dig up my boots from the clay
Em Dsus2 Cadd9
I buried nails and strings and hair
Em Dsus2 Cadd9
And that old tooth I believe was a bear's
Am Dsus2 Cadd9 G G/F#
At sunrise the monkeys will fly
Am Dsus2 Cadd9
And leave me with pennies in my eyes
