Intro: Am Bb7 Em Bb7

             Am
Give me your hand
               Bb7
the dog in the gar--den now
              Em 
is covered in mud
                  Bb7
and dragging your mother's clothes
cinder and smoke
the snake in the basement found
the juniper shade
the farmhouse is burning down

Give me your hand
and take what you will tonight
I'll give it as fast
and high as the flame will rise
cinder and smoke
some whispers around the trees,
the juniper bends
as if you were listening

Give me your hand
your mother is drunk as all
the firemen shake
a photo from father's arms
cinder and smoke
you'll ask him to pray for rain, 
with ash in your mouth
you'll ask it to burn again
