cricket song chords by Joe Stamm
Verse 1
Am
A scream cuts through
a window screen
and melts into the hot night air
G
Sneaking into a room
where the sweat mats down
a woman's hair
Am
Tears run down a midwife's cheek
as she lays a silent ball of pink
G
Down into that woman's arms
and the world stands still in
a mama's grief
F
C
Cricket sings a melody
G
Am
Pulling a rusty bow across his wings
F
C
Let it drive you mad, oh sing along
G
F
But there ain't no ceremony too sacred
G
Am
for a cricket song
The sun cuts through the stained glass,
red and blue, yellow, green
G
Illuminates a frightened man
and a woman in a manger
Am
Seen in a preacher quotes
a scripture book
He turns and asks the man to his left
G
If he'll make a promise unto death
And the church goes still with basic breath
F
C
The cricket sings a melody
G
Am
Pulling the rusty bow across his wings
G
F
C
Let a dragon metal sing along
G
But there ain't no singing
F
Need you sacred
G
For a cricket song

Verse 2
Am
Thin cut of moon hangs up
in the corner of a window frame
G
Looking in on a pile of skin
trodden underneath
Am
The cotton sheet and her breath
drags like 80 grit
Sandpaper across concrete
G
and there's a little more
There's still night air
Am
stretched out between each heart
G
F
And the cricket sings a melody
C
G
Am
Pulling a rusty bow across his wings
F
Let it drive you mad or sing along
C

F
But there ain't no ceremony too sacred
G
No, there ain't no ceremony
F
too sacred
C
Cricket sings a melody
G
Am
Pulling a rusty bow across his wings
C

Let a driving man or singer roam
G

But there ain't no ceremony too sacred

No, there ain't no ceremony too sacred
