Crows Locusts Chords

(ver. 1)
Brooke Fraser
[Intro]
           F                               Am
It was the year the crows and the locusts came
    C                     G
The fields drank dry the rain
               F
The fields are bleeding

[Instrumental 1]
Am F C G Am F C G

[Verse 1]
Am                     F   C
Daddy don't cry, it'll be alright
    G          Am
She puts some water on the wound
                       F
And hums a little tune while
    C                            G
Her courage puddles on the ground
     F   G    F
Pooling, pooling

[Verse 2]
Am                      F     C      G
See the murder and the swarm descend
        Am
And the night is getting thick,
                      F
The moon turning her tricks
        C               G
She'll betray you every time

[Chorus]
            F                             Am
It was the year the crows and the locusts came
     C                   G
The fields drank dry the rain
                    F
The fields are bleeding
                                      Am
It was the age the foxes came for the fields
        C                        G
We were bleeding as we bowed to kneel
                             F
And pray for mercy, pray for mercy

[Bridge 1]
     Am
The rumble is low and the heat is high
      G                                    F
Got a feeling that there's rain out in the oil black sky
      Am
Gonna chase away the devil when that song does rise
     G F
Gonna plead the blood
    G  F
Gonna plead the blood

[Instrumental 2]
Am G E F Dm Am E
F C E F Dm Am E
F C E F Dm Am E

[Chorus]
            F                             Am
It was the year the crows and the locusts came
     C                   G
The fields drank dry the rain
                    F
The fields are bleeding
                                      Am
It was the age the foxes came for the fields
        C                        G
We were bleeding as we bowed to kneel
                             F
And pray for mercy, pray for mercy

[Bridge 2]
    Am
She limps on up to the top of a mound
G                     F
Looks at the faltered harvest
           Am
Feels her sweat in the ground
        Am
And the burn in her nose
        G
And the knowing in her guts,
            F
Something's still gonna grow
n.c.
She ain't leaving 'til it does

[Instrumental 3]
Am G F G F
Am G F G F

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