[CHORDS]
 
[Intro]
Em Em(add4) Em7
Csus2 G/B Am    G
 
[Verse]
Em                   Em(add4)           Em7
As if you know the story of Wallowa Lake
                 Csus2     G/B            Am
Leviathan first hid in the deep where her children sleep
                G
She kept them hidden from the plague
Em                       Esus4               Em7
But have you heard the story of my mother’s fate?
                Csus2              G/B            Am
She left us in Detroit in the rain with a pillowcase
        G
Fortune for the paperweight
 
    Em                Em(add4)                  Em7
We followed her to Joseph, near the Indian raid
                    Csus2            G/B           Am
She wept among the weeds, hide and seek, for the fallen chief
               G
Spathiphyllum on his grave
Em                  Em(add4)                       Em7
And like the cedar waxwing, she was drunk all day
                   Csus2          G/B             Am
We put her in the sheet, little wreath, candles on the crate
         G
As the monster showed its face
 
[Chorus]
D       C                             F
As she waits for her children in the shade
               Am
Demogorgon or demigod the ghost parade
Bb                Am            C       D
No oblation will bring her back to our place
 
:Interlude: (no fingerpicking)
A C G Bb F G
 
[Verse]
Em                     Em(add4)          Em7
She stayed within the deep end of Wallowa Lake
              Csus2              G/B        Am
The undertow refrained with the flame of a feathered snake
           G
Charybdis in its shallow grave
Em                    Em(add4)                    Em7
She gave us one last feature, the fullness of her face
              Csus2          G/B        Am
In the shade of "Hin-mah-too-yah…" (Red Napoleon)
        G
As the demon took her place
 
[Chorus]
D     C                       F
As we wait for the waters to reside
                Am
Her remarkable stoicism and her pride
Bb                 Am          C           D
When the dragon submerged we knew she had died
 
[Outro]
D A C G (repeat until end)
