Sufjan Stevens - Carrie & Lowell: chords

 D          F
Carrie and Lowell
G            Am    G
Such a long time ago
D            F
Like a dead horse
G           Am        G
Meadowlark drive your arrow

Dm         Am              G
Season of hope (after the flood)
             Am      G
Valentine, spurn my sorrow
Dm           Am                       G
Head on the floorboards (covered in blood)
            Am    G
Drunk as a horsefly

  C           F        C
Climb on the mattress pad
 Am      G
Twist my arm

Under the pear tree
Shadows and light conspiring
Covered bridge, I scream
Cottage Grove shade, invite me

I will bow down (Dido's Lament)
Lord of the ancient waters
From the backyard (as far as she went)
Carrie surprised me

Erebus on my back
My lucky charm

Carried by stones
Fairyland all around us
Like a dead horse
Sign of your children’s fever

Carrie, come home (Thorazine’s friend)
Holding your hands with opal
Like a dead horse (Shall we ascend?)
Flight of the mayfly

Ephemera on my back
She breaks my arm
