Verse 1

[Gm] In the [F]middle of a Tennesee [C]mid-winter [F]rain
A [F]two-headed lamb, was [C]by the old ewe born
And as she [Bb]latched onto her [F]mother
The [Dm]cry rang out [Bb]double
And she was [F]dead in the [C]meadow by the [Bb][Dm][F]morning
[Bb] [F] [C] [Bbsus2]

Verse 2

[F]Before the fog had lifted the [C]coyotes picked her [F]clean
And the [F]old ewe resigned herself to [C]lay in hay and bleed
As he [Bb]walked out that [F]morning
The old man [Dm]didn't look to [Bb]see
Out of [F]season sweet [C]persimmons in the [Bb]old [Dm]growth [F]tree

Bridge

And I know [Bb]scattered o'er the [F]cursed world
There're [Dm]fightening bones to [Bb]find
Bones of [Dm]people born too [Dm7]soon
[C]Lambs too strange to survive
[Bb]Born only meat for [F]wolves
Or born a [Dm]freak to [Bb]humankind
Still there were [F]four eyes shining [F/G]bravely
In the meadow [F/G]that night[C]

Verse 3

[F]The two-headed lamb was [C]found by the [F]old man
In a [F]ditch by the meadow in the [C]spring
And as he [Bb]scratched his head and [F]chuckled
"Even [Dm]God can make a [Bb]fuck-up"
He [F]overlooked an [C]ordinary [Bb]thing
[Bb]Twice the robins singing in the old growth [F]tree
