Wallowa Lake Monster

Biography:

Sufjan Stevens (Born July 1, 1975) is an American musician, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from Petoskey, Michigan. He is known for his lyrically focused and instrumentally rich songs that often relate to faith and family. He has enjoyed wide critical success in the United States. He is considered part of the folk revival through indie pop, but his influences are very broad, including experimental electronic music, the jazz of Vince Guaraldi, and the academic minimalism of Steve Reich and Philip Glass.

[Intro]
[Chords relative to Capo on 5th fret]
Bm E D/F#
Cadd9 D5 Em
Dsus2

[Verse 1]
Bm E D/F#
As if you know the story of Wallowa Lake
Cadd9 D5 Em
Leviathan first hid in the deep where her children sleep
Dsus2
She kept them hidden from the plague
Bm E D/F#
But have you heard the story of my mother's fate?
Cadd9 D5 Em
She left us in Detroit in the rain with a pillowcase
Dsus2
Fortune for the paperweight

[Verse 2]
Bm E D/F#
We followed her to Joseph, near the Indian raid
Cadd9 D5 Em
She wept among the weeds, hide and seek, for the fallen chief
Dsus2
Spathiphyllum on his grave
Bm E D/F#
And like the cedar waxwing, she was drunk all day
Cadd9 D5 Em
We put her in the sheet, little wreath, candles on the crate
Dsus2
As the monster showed its face

[Chorus 1]
A G
As she waits for her children in the shade
F Em
Demogorgon or demigod the ghost parade
F C A
No oblation will bring her back to our place

[Interlude]
[Starts with the A chord over 'place']
A E G D F C D

[Verse 3]
Bm E D/F#
She stayed within the deep end of Wallowa Lake
Cadd9 D5 Em
The undertow refrained with the flame of a feathered snake
Dsus2
Charybdis in its shallow grave
Bm E D/F#
She gave us one last feature, the fullness of her face
Cadd9 D5 Em
In the shade of "Hin-mah-too-yah", Red Napoleon
Dsus2
As the demon took her place

[Chorus 2]
A G
As we wait for the waters to reside
F Em
Her remarkable stoicism and her pride
F C A
When the dragon submerged we knew she had died
