Cricket Song

Afinação: E A D G B ETecla: AmCapotraste: Sem capotraste As recorded by Joe Stamm (From the 2024 EP ALLEGHENY) [Intro] Am [Verse 1] Am A scream cuts through a window screen Am And melts into the hot night air G That's sneakin in to a room G Where the sweat mats down a woman's hair Am And tears runs down the midwife's cheeks Am As she lays a silent ball of pink G Down into that woman's arms G And the world stands still in a mama's grief [Chorus] F C And the cricket sings a melody G Am Pullin a rusty bow across his wings F C Let it drive ya mad or sing along G F But there ain't no ceremony too sacred G Am For a cricket song [Verse 2] Am Sun cuts through the stained glass Am Red and blue and yellow green G Illuminates a frightened man G And a woman in a manger scene Am As the preacher quotes the scripture book Am And turns and asks the man to his left G If he'll make a promise unto death G And the church goes still with baited breath [Chorus] F C And the cricket sings a melody G Am Pullin a rusty bow across his wings F C Let it drive ya mad or sing along G F But there ain't no ceremony too sacred G Am For a cricket song [Guitar & Pedal Steel Solos] F C G Am F C G F G Am [Verse 3] Am Thin cut of moon hangs up in Am The corner of a window frame G Lookin in on a pile of skin G Shriveled underneath a cotton sheet Am And her breath drags, like 80 grit Am Sandpaper across concrete G And there's a litte more of that still night air Am N.C. Stretched out between each heart beat... [Chorus] F C And the cricket sings a melody G Am Pullin a rusty bow across his wings F C Let it drive ya mad or sing along G F But there ain't no ceremony too sacred G F No there ain't no ceremony too sacred F And the cricket sings a melody G Am Pullin a rusty bow across his wings F C Let it drive ya mad or sing along G F But there ain't no ceremony too sacred G F No there ain't no ceremony too sacred G Am For a cricket song [Outro-Solo] F C G Am F C G F G F G
