The Steeldrivers - Sticks That Made Thunder Chords

Capo 2


   Am
My roots are deeper than the bones than the others
   E
My colors that change with the sun
   Am
My branches we're higher than anything on the hillside
       Em
On the day that I watched them all come


     Am
Some wear the color of the sky in the winter
      E
Some, were as blue as the night
     Am
They came like a storm with the light of the morn
          Em
And they fell through the whole day and night


Chorus:

    G                         D
The colors flew high and they danced in the sky
     Em                         C
As I watched them come over the hill
G
Then to my wonder sticks that made thunder
       Em               C
Such a great number lay still


     Am
When the light came again there was death on the wind
   E
As the buzzards made way for the worms
    Am
And the little white trees that don't bend in the breeze
        Em
For the ones that will never return


Chorus:

    G                         D
The colors flew high and they danced in the sky
     Em                         C
As I watched them come over the hill
G
Then to my wonder sticks that made thunder
       Em               C
Such a great number lay still


      Am
Those that have fallen, come when I call them
    E
And answer the best that they can
    Am
But all they can see is what they used to be
           Em
And that's all that they understand


Chorus: x2

    G                         D
The colors flew high and they danced in the sky
     Em                         C
As I watched them come over the hill
G
Then to my wonder sticks that made thunder
       Em               C
Such a great number lay still
