Fever Cifra

[Intro]
Em G Am C
Em G Am C
 
[Verse 1]
Em
with a shrug of her shoulders
G
the mountain came down
       Am
tore a path all the way to the water
C
through my sleeping town
 
Em
And the trails i'd wandered
G
all erased in the birth
       Am
of the million year old rock
         C
from the naked gasping earth
 
[Chorus 1]
C              D*                  Em  D
oh my children where you gonna go
C                D*                   Em   D
now you lost the land you called your home
         C                D*           Em    G
when the earth is burning fever on her brow
       C              D
crying oh my children who will save you now
 
[Interlude]
Em G Am C
Em G Am C
 
[Verse 2]
Em
now the winters hit harder
G
the summers are fire
        Am
and the rains are the tears of a mother
        C
for a rebellious reckless child
 
Em
still the spring brings clover
G
amid the blackened oaks
Am
sprays some fledgling branches
        C              N.C.
and the wild flowers below
 
[Chorus 2]
C              D*                  Em  D
oh my children where you gonna go
C                D*                   Em   D
now you lost the land you called your home
         C                D*           Em    G
when the earth is burning fever on her brow
       C              D                 Am
crying oh my children who will save you now
 
[Bridge]
   C/B       C             D*       Am
farewell the family of the holocene
    C/B      C               D*           Am C/B
farewell the fragile air the sea the land
              C                  D*            Am    C/B
five times before she's seen the rise and fall again
                   C
but never by their own hand
               Em
never by their own
N.C.
oh my children
 
[Solo]
Em G Am C
Em G Am C
Em G Am C
Em G Am C
 
[Verse 3]
Em
chaos was my lover
G
fate is my bride
        Am
we will meet at the edge of the ocean
        C
and the ever rising tide
 
[Chorus 3]
C              D*                  Em  D
oh my children where you gonna go
C                D*                   Em   D
now you lost the land you called your home
         C                D*           Em    G
when the earth is burning fever on her brow
       C              D                 Em  D
crying oh my children who will save you now
         C                D*           Em    G
when the earth is burning fever on her brow
       C              D                 Em
crying oh my children who will save you now
