BABY BIRCH
CAPO 2
C F
this is the song for Baby Birch
Am F C
though i will never know you
C F
and at the back of what we've done
Am F C
there is the knowledge of you
C F
well, i wish we could take every path
Am F C
could spend a hundred years adoring you
C F
yes, i wish we could take every path
Am F C
because i hated to close the door on you
C F
do you remember staring up at the stars
Am F C
so far away in their bulletproof cars?
C F
when we heard the rushing, slow intake
Am F C
of the dark, dark water in the engine brakes?
C F
and i said to you, "well, how about them engine brakes?"
Am F C
and if i should die before i wake,
C F
Will you keep an eye on Baby Birch?
Am F C
because i'd hate to see her make the same mistake
Asus4 C
when it was dark, i called and you came
Asus4 C
when it was dark, i saw shapes
Asus4 C
when I see stars, i feel in your hand
Asus4 C
and I see stars, and I reel again.
C F
Well mercy me. I'll be goddamned.
Am
It's been a long, long time
F C
since I last saw you.
C F
And I have never known the plan.
Am
It's been a long, long time.
F C
How are you?
C F
Your eyes are green. Your hair is gold.
Am F C
Your hair is black. Your eyes are blue.
C F
I closed the ranks, and I doubled back—
Am
but, you know, I hated to close
F C
the door on you.
Asus4 C
We take a walk along the dirty lake.
Hear the goose,
Asus4 C
cussing at me over her eggs.
Asus4
You poor little cousin.
C
I don't want your dregs
Asus4 C
(A little baby fussing all over my legs).
Am
There is a blacksmith,
and there is a shepherd,
and there is a butcher-boy,
C
and there is a barber, who's cutting
and cutting away at my only joy.
Am
I saw a rabbit,
as slick as a knife,
and as pale as a candlestick,
C
and I had thought it'd be harder to do,
but I caught her, and skinned her quick:
held her there,
Am
kicking and mewling,
upended, unspooling, unsung and blue;
C
told her "wherever you go,
little runaway bunny,
I will find you."
Am
And then she ran,
C
as they're liable to do.
Asus4 C
Be at peace, baby, and begone.
