[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]

[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]

What can wash away my sin

Nothing but the blood

What can make me whole again

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
