My Sister’s Tiny Hands The Handsome Family
This is a more correct version I think than the other one, the previous version had way
too many chord changes that werereally just little runs played between the main chords
listed here.
(Intro)
[Am]
[C]We came in this [G]world to[Am]gether
[G]Legs wrapped 'round each [Am]other
[F]My cheek against my sister's
We were b[C]orn like [G]tangled [Am]vine
[C]We lived a[G]long the r[Am]iver
Where the [G]black clouds never l[Am]ingered
The s[F]unlight spread like honey
Through my s[C]ister's [G]tiny [Am]hands
[C]But while picking s[G]our ap[Am]ples
In t[G]he wild waving g[Am]rasses
Sister [F]stumbled in the brier
And was [C]bitten [G]by a [Am]snake
(Bridge)
[F] [Am]
(Chorus)
[G]Every creature casts a [Am]shadow
[G]Under the sun's golden f[C]inger
[G]But when the sun sinks past the [Am]waving grass
[G]Some shadows are dragged a[Am]long
[C]Alone, I [G]took to d[Am]rinking
[G]Bottles of cheap [Am]whiskey
And s[F]taggering through the back woods
Killing s[C]nakes with a [G]sharpened [Am]stick
[C]But still I [G]heard her [Am]laughing
In the [G]wild waving gr[Am]asses
Still her [F]tiny hands went splashing
At the [C]river's s[G]parkling [Am]shore
[C]So I took my [G]rusty [Am]gas can
[G]And an old iron [Am]shovel
I s[F]et the woods to burning
And choked the r[C]iver [G]up with [Am]stones
(Bridge)
[F] [Am]
(Chorus)
[G]Every creature casts a [Am]shadow
[G]Under the sun's golden f[C]inger
[G]But when the sun sinks past the [Am]waving grass
[G]Some shadows are dragged a[Am]long
