[Intro] Bm D Gmaj7 [Verse] Bm D As a child it was the place names Gmaj7 Singin' at me as the first thing Bm A How the mouth must be employed in F#m every corner of itself G D To say "Appalacicola" or Gmaj7 "Hushpukena", like "Gweebarra" Em A D A promise softly sung of somewhere else [Chorus] G And as a young man blessed to pass Bm so many road signs G And have my foreign ear made fresh again A F#m on each unlikely sound G But feel at home, hearin' D Bm F#m a music that few still understand Em A butchered tongue still singin' A D here above the ground [Verse] Bm D The ears were chopped from young men G if the pitch cap didn't kill them Bm A They are buried without scalp in F#m the shattered bedrock of our home G D You may never know your fortune G Em Until the distance has been shown between A what is lost forever D And what can still be known [Chorus] G So far from home to have Bm a stranger call you, "Darling" G And have your guarded heart be lifted like A F#m a child up by the hand G In some town that just means D 'Home' to them Bm F#m With no translator left to sound Em A butchered tongue still singin' A D here above the ground Bm D Gmaj7 F#m Bm D Gmaj7 Bm
