G Bm/F# Em Em
 
[Verse 1]
   G            Bm/F#          Em
Our daughter is one and a half
G                  Bm/F#       Em
   You have been dead eleven days
  C/G                   D/A
I got on the boat and came to the place
          G           Bm/F#         Em
Where the three of us were going to build our house
             G   Bm/F# Em
If you had lived
       C/G            D/A
You died though, so I came here alone
       G      Bm/F#     Em
With our baby and the dust of your bones
G Bm/F# Em Em
 
[Verse 2]
          C/G    D/F#             G*       Bm/A Em
I can't remember, were you into Canada geese?
         C/G      D/F#       G*             Bm  Em
Is it significant? These hundreds on the beach?
G   Bm/F#               Em
   Or were they just hungry
  G       Bm/F#      Em    Em Em
For mid-migration seaweed?
 
[Verse 3]
           C/G       D/F#          G*          Bm/A Em
What about foxgloves? Is that a flower you liked?
            C/G  D/F#                   G*            Bm Em
I can't remember, you did most of my remembering for me
    G     Bm/F#     Em
And now I stand untethered
    G        Bm/F#      Em
In a field full of wild foxgloves
 
[Verse 4]
             C/G          D/F#                  G*       Bm/A Em
Wondering if you're there, or if a flower means anything
               C/G          D/F#                   G*      Bm Em
And what could anything mean    in this crushing absurdity
 
[Outro]
 G          Bm/F#           Em
I brought a chair from home
G                 Bm/F#       Em
   I'm leaving it on the hill
G     Bm/F#      Em
   Facing west and north
     G        Bm/F#          Em
And I poured out your ashes on it
 G             Bm/F#           Em
I guess so you can watch the sunset
        G             Bm/F#            Em
But the truth is I don't think of that dust as you
G Bm/F# Em Em              C/G
              You are the sunset
