Crows & Locusts Brooke Fraser
[Intro]
It was the [F]year the crows and the locusts c[Am]ame
The [C]fields drank dry the r[G]ain
The fields are [F]bleeding
[Instrumental 1]
[Am] [F] [C] [G] [Am] [F] [C] [G]
[Verse 1]
[Am]Daddy don't cry, it'll [F]be a[C]lright
She [G]puts some w[Am]ater on the wound
And hums a little tune [F]while
Her [C]courage puddles on the ground[G]
Pooli[F]ng, [G]pooli[F]ng
[Verse 2]
[Am]See the murder and the s[F]warm d[C]escend[G]
And the [Am]night is getting thick,
The moon turning her t[F]ricks
She'll b[C]etray you every [G]time
[Cborus]
It was the y[F]ear the crows and the locusts [Am]came
The f[C]ields drank dry the [G]rain
The fields are bleed[F]ing
It was the age the foxes came for the [Am]fields
We were [C]bleeding as we bowed to k[G]neel
And pray for mercy, pray for [F]mercy
[Bridge 1]
The r[Am]umble is low and the heat is high
Got a [G]feeling that there's rain out in the [F]oil black sky
Gonna [Am]chase away the devil when that song does rise
Gonna[G] p[F]lead the blood
Gonn[G]a p[F]lead the blood
[Instrumental 2]

[Cborus]
It was the y[F]ear the crows and the locusts [Am]came
The f[C]ields drank dry the [G]rain
The fields are bleed[F]ing
It was the age the foxes came for the [Am]fields
We were [C]bleeding as we bowed to k[G]neel
And pray for mercy, pray for [F]mercy
[Bridge 2]
She [Am]limps on up to the top of a mound
[G]Looks at the faltered [F]harvest
Feels her s[Am]weat in the ground
And the [Am]burn in her nose
And the [G]knowing in her guts,
Something's [F]still gonna grow
n.c.
She ain't leaving 'til it does
[Instrumental 3]

[Outro]
[Am]What can wash [G]away my [Am]sin
[G]Nothing but the blood
[Am]What can make me [G]whole [Am]again
[G]Nothing but the blood
[Am]What can wash [G]away my [Am]sin
[G]Nothing but the blood
[Am]What can make me [G]whole [Am]again
[G]Nothing but the blood
