Verse:
Em Am
Oh mom, the kids are playing in pennies
A Am
They're up to their knees in money
Em Emadd6 Em
In the dirt of the churchyard steps
Em Am
Oh mom, that man he ripped out his lining
A Am
Tore out a piece of his body
Em Emadd6 Em
To show us his "clean quilted heart"
Em Am
Oh mom, the bird on the string is hanging
A Am
Her bones are twisting and dancing
Em Emadd6 Em
She's fighting for her small life
Chorus
