Send my ap

From this

place of thumps and  
Am 
cries
 
My  
Am 
hands are  
Am/G 
slick and my  
Fmaj7 
breath is thick
 
And

I can’t reach to

My

In this

Fields of home, warm

VERSE 2
 
The  
Am 
horses 
 
 
Am/G 
came at  
Fmaj7 
2 
 
a.m.
 
Their  
Asus4 
manes flayed the window  
Am 
pane
 
And they  
Am 
bore me  
Am/G 
off to a  
Fmaj7 
muddy 
 
plane
 
Where the  
Dsus2 
villages were in  
G6sus2 
flames
 
And we  
Am 
rode all  
C/B 
night
 
For they  
Am 
would not  
C/B 
turn
 
Though I  
Dsus2 
begged and cursed and  
G6sus2 
wept
 
They de
Am 
livered me  
Am/G 
on to some  
Fmaj7 
angry 
 
men
 
Who  
Esus4 
punched me until I  
Gm6/E 
slept
 
Cm7 
Children called me  
Ebmaj7 
father 
 
once
Gm 
Flesh and blood and  
Fsus2 
smog
Cm7 
I must have roused their  
Ebmaj7 
hate or blame
 
To

earn Black River

But
