[A] [B] [E] [D] Wind [A] out of [B] Oklahoma [E] this morning [D] smelled [A] like [B] blood and smoke.
[E] [D] And the crows [A] discussed [B] their future in [F#] the branches of [A] their [B] Louisiana [E] live oak.
[D] The limbs are [A] [B] strong and [E] heavy and its [D] leaves are all [A] aglow.
[B] [E] [D] And the [A] branches brush [B] the upper [F#] air but the roots reach down [A] to where the [B] bad people [A] go.
And what will I do [D] with [B] you, [E] pink and blue, [C#m] true [A] gold,
[B] nine [E] days [D] old?

[E] [D] Crows outside [A] [B] complaining about [E] [D] finer points of [A] local [B] [E] politics.
[D] Strange wind [A] all [B] full of new [A] smells, rust and fur and [B] perception [A] sticks.
