Em7Something from the A7sus4dark came down the Em7night John Rufus dA7sus4ied
It Em7landed on the wA7sus4indow sill and Em7there it cried all A7sus4night
We Em7could not see the A7sus4shape of it, Em7wailing filled the A7sus4air
We Em7knew not what it A7sus4looked like but we Em7knew why it was tA7sus4here
I Cadd9weigh my deeds on my A7sus4father's sEm7cales
And I A7sus4balance them with Dsus2coffin Em7nails

Em7I'd moved off of the A7sus4family farm in Em71954 A7sus4
I was Em7in and out of FA7sus4ort Roots since I Em7came back from theA7sus4 war
Em7He died on the A7sus4Ides of March Em7just before the A7sus4dawn
Em7Mama stayed up A7sus4with him 'til that Em7howling thing was A7sus4gone
I Cadd9weigh my deeds on my A7sus4father's sEm7cales
And I A7sus4balance them with Dsus2coffin Em7nails

The Cadd9things we carried in war
The things we carry Em7now
Cadd9Every ounce added up
Can't seem to set them Dsus2down
I can't seem to set 'em Em7down

Em7Something from the A7sus4dark came down, Em7I still hear its A7sus4song
Did it Em7follow from the A7sus4old world? Had it Em7been here all alA7sus4ong?
The Em7banshee didn't sA7sus4eem to bother Em7when it was wartA7sus4ime
Em7Too much death and A7sus4sorrow, too Em7many people cA7sus4rying
I Cadd9weigh my deeds on my A7sus4father's sEm7cales
And I A7sus4balance them with Dsus2coffin Em7nails
I Cadd9weigh my deeds on my A7sus4father's scEm7ales
And I A7sus4balance them with Dsus2coffin Em7nails
