  ..the sky   soft  					         .. love ..

                     Em
Can you tell us the place where
      G                  D
The Elders chew the sky soft
                 Em
The place where love is like
     G                   D
A perfect knee-quilled arrow
                    Em
Flown from bows of pure willow
                                   D
And under the thundering roll of ghost buffalo
               Em                                   D
Oh, can't you can't you hear the world's heart breaking


(change of the right hand rythmic)


 C                    G
For, it's a test of courage
			    Am
To kiss the snake-tongued people
		   G		   Am	
The fork-tongued people  owouwoho hoo 
     C			    G
And yes, it is a test of courage
			    Am
To kiss the snake-tongued people
		   G		   Am	
The fork-tongued people  owouwoho hoo 

		  G                   Am
'Cause it's like two tongues, at one time
      G                   Am
Like two tongues, at one time
	   G                   Am
It's like two tongues, at one time
      G                   Am
Like two tongues, at one time
           G                   Am
It's like two tongues, at one time
      G                   Am
Like two tongues, at one time
	       G               Am
Like bitter spirits and sweet wine
                  G                   Am
'Cause it's like two tongues, at one time
G       Am
At one time

     C                G				 Am
So, pour all of your souls like magma into the caverns
 C		   G			     Am
Pour all of your souls like magma into the caverns
 G			Am	       G              Am
Pour 'em all for the hauntings, the hauntings, the hauntings
     G                      Am             G             Am
And pour 'em all for the hauntings, the hauntings, the hauntings
     G                      Am
And pour 'em all for the hauntings
     G                   Am
And cool down for the hauntings
      G               Am
And harden for the hauntings
     D           Dm (x00775)
And now granite-soul
          Em               G
You're a hunter, hunter hunting
                       D
Children of the wild plains
                 Dm             Em
And now granite-soul you're a hunter
               G                           D
Your hunter hunting children of the wild plains

                                                      Dm
And if my great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmotha
            Em             G                  D    
Could find them she would put all of their poisoned
                          Dm           Em       
All of their poisoned, poisoned teeth
                 G
In her medicine bag
                 D
In her medicine bag
                           Dm         Em
She'd make a graph of our death-beat 
                G
Pulse, murmur quiet
                D
Pulse, murmur quiet
<--------(stop picking)---------->      
Like hiding pheasants in tall grass


(another change of the right hand rythmic)

Em
Now there's faces in the rocks
                        D
And they're coming on strong
 Em                                 D
Faces in the rocks with medicine tongues
 Em                                         D
Faces in the rocks feels like a million to one
 Em                                            D
Woman and man in the moon with a cradle-board son
      Em                                    D
Oh, braided 'round close to all warmth is gone
D          Em         D
Gooo ohoho one 

     Em 
So, here, take these blankets

Here, take these blankets
                     D
Here, take these blankets
                                    Em
They're woven from the hair of the dead

     Em
The hair from your sisters

Hair from your brothers

Hair from your lovers

Hair from the beavers
                 D
Hair from the otters
    Em
The hair from your mothers

Hair from your fathers

Hair from your lovers

Hair from the beavers
                 D
Hair from the otters


(return of second picking ^^)


           Dm(x00775)  Em
And we, we saw through you
         G                 D
Like a candle through a buffalo's eye
            Dm      Em
And we, we stood by you
        G                       D
Like a mama bear shot with her cubs at her side
            Dm         Em
And we, we saw through you
         G                 D
Like a candle through a buffalo's eye
