Hello there, this is my first tab. I liked this song but there was no tab so I decided

enjoy :)

Rest of the song:

EmAs (022000@1)heavy as a history book can be,
         G (320003@1)               C (x32010@1)        G (320003@1)    G/F#?? (low e|-3--2---0--| (022000@1))
I will carry it with me, oh Lord.
                   EmAnd (022000@1)maybe when the bitterness has gone,
              G (320003@1)                       C (x32010@1)       G (320003@1)   G/F#There'll (320002@1)be sweetness on our tongues once more.

F (133211@1)                    C (x32010@1)          GWe'll (320003@1)soon forget our parents' names,
   F (133211@1)                         C (x32010@1)         GLike (320003@1)dogs will drive the wolves away.
    F (133211@1)                  CAnd (x32010@1)weep with fingertips opposed,
        G (320003@1)                F (133211@1)           G (320003@1)     FLike (133211@1)a church where nobody congregates.

Am (x02210@1)   C (x32010@1)       G (320003@1)          F (133211@1)  But sweetness sings in the pasture,
Am (x02210@1)   C (x32010@1)      G (320003@1)          F (133211@1)  We throw ourselves on the mercy of the earth.
Am (x02210@1)   C (x32010@1)      G (320003@1)          F (133211@1)  If sand and salt have the answer,
Am (x02210@1)        C (x32010@1)   G (320003@1)          F (133211@1)             Am (x02210@1)  Then the act itself will be louder than the word.



Etc. Am C G F goes on to the end of the song.
