My Sisters Tiny Hands Chords & Tabs
My Sisters Tiny Hands Chords
There are some little stylistic riffs and whatnot, but I believe this is the main
chord progression.
I tried to line up the chord names with the respective syllables.
Also, the chord progressions can seem physically awkward at times, but at tempo
they sound right.
If there's anything I screwed up, let me know. Enjoy.
C Dm Am G F Em Am
We came in this world together, legs wrapped round each other,
F C Bm C Am
My cheek against my sister's we were born like tangled vine
C Dm Am G F Em Am
We lived along the river where the black clouds never linger
F C Bm C Am
The sunlight spread like honey through my sister's tiny hands
C Dm Am G F Em Am
But while picking sour apples, in the wild waving grasses
F E F C Bm C Am
Sister stumbled in a briar and was bitten by a snake
Chorus:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_handsome_family/my_sisters_tiny_hands_crd_ver_2.html ]
A G B A G E D E
Every creature casts a shadow under the sun's golden fingers
Bm A C G Bm
But when the sun sinks past the waving grass some shadows are dragged
Am
along
Verse 2:
C Dm Am G F Em Am
Alone I took to drinking bottles of cheap whisky
F E F C Bm C
And staggering through the backwoods killing snakes with a sharpened
Am
Stake
C Dm Am G F Em Am
But still I heard her laughing in the wild waving grasses
F C Bm C Am
Still her tiny hands went splashing at the river's sparkling shore
C Dm Am G F Em Am
So I took my rusty gas can and an old iron shovel
F C Bm C Am
I set the woods to burning I choked the river up with stones
Chorus
