Intro: F C G (2x)
Verse:
F C G
Last night I dreamed we'd found a stand of trees
F Am G
framing a pond and a field in between
Dm Am G
And with a hammer and a blade and our four hands
F E
here's what we made
F C G
The logs we peeled and stacked in a ring
F Am G
and then we crowned it, our tiny house, with tin
Dm Am G F
And by the fire, flickering bronze and gold across your face
E G
I heard you say
[Refrão]
C F G
It may not be a grand parade of snow capped peaks, oooh
C F G
no river silver-backed crashing through, oooh
C F Em
but we have our black-haired babes running free
Dm G
through the woods, oooo
Solo:(same as verse):
F C G
F C G
Dm Am G F E
Verse:
F F G
Squirrels in the rafters, wrens in the eaves
F Am G
red dirt neath our nails, orange stains on our knees
Dm Am G F E G
blackberries in June down the path without our shoes
[Refrão]
C F G
It may not be a grand parade of snow capped peaks, oooh
C F G
no river silver-backed crashing through, oooh
C F Em
but we have our black-haired babes running free
Dm G
through the woods, oooo
Outro:
F C G
F Am G
