[INTRO 1]
[F]It was the year
The crows and the locusts [Am]came
The [C]fields drained dry the [G]rain
The fields are bleeding[Dm]

[VERSE 1]
[Am]"Daddy don't cry, it'[F]ll[C] be a[Csus4]lright[C]"
[G]She puts some[Am] water on the wound
And hums a little tune
Whil[F]e her c[C]ourage puddles on the g[G]round
[F]Pooling, [G]poolin[F]g
[VERSE 2]
[Am]See the murder and the swarm[F] d[C]esc[Csus4]end [C]
[G]And the[Am] night is getting thick
The moon telling her tricks
S[F]he'd b[C]etray her every time [G]
[CHORUS]
It was the [F]year
The crows and the locusts [Am]came
The [C]fields drained dry the [G]rain
The fields are bleedi[F]ng
It was the [F]age
The foxes came for the [Am]fields
[C]We were bleeding as we bowed to [G]kneel
And prayed for mercy, prayed for [F]mercy
The [Am]rumble is low and the heat is high
Got a [G]feeling that there's rain out in the [F]oil black sky
Gonna [Am]chase away the devil when that sun does rise
Gonna [F]plead the blood
Gonna [F]plead the blood

[C]We were bleeding as we bowed to [G]kneel
And prayed for mercy, prayed for [F]mercy
She l[Am]imps on up to the top of a mount
[G]Looks at the faltered [F]harvest
Feels her s[Am]weat in the ground and the burn in her nose
And the [G]knowing in her gut
Something's [F]still gonna grow
She ain't leaving 'till it does.
[Am]What can wash [Em]away my s[C]in
[G]Nothing but the blood [F]
[Am]What can make me [Em]whole [C]again
[G]Nothing but the blood[F]
[F]It was the year
