Noni's Field Em When I closed my eyes in Noni's field G We were lying on our backs. Em I dreamt that the ground split a seam, G Our spirits, floating. Cmaj7 When no longer tied into our bodies, G We left them wrapping as a sign, to slip into the crack. Cmaj7 G Tired and ready to go. G But I don't know what goes on. D7 I touched my grandfather s face, he lay fixed in his casket. He lay sewn shut and folded so that none could refuse it. Em They had posed, they had painted him. I laughed. I let him go. A7 Cmaj7 His cheeks washed like watercolor sunlight, evening time. G I could never put my hands back to them. G Still, I don t know what goes on. D7 Will my thoughts burn in unseen patterns, form a dim glow in your mind Long after you remember who it was that I looked like? Em A7 Cmaj7 G Oh Oh Oh Oh Em G We saw the sky, swarming full with the light that the fireflies made. Em Bm/D Cmaj7 An accidental constellation. A7 Cmaj7 G You, how will you go? Em A7 Out through your mouth in a sigh? Cmaj7 G Into a space we don't know. Em A7 Cmaj7 A7 Cmaj7 Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh G (Awesome String Part) e|----------------------------------| b|----------------------------------| G|---------------4---------2--------| D|-5---------------4-----2----------| A|---7-5-7-5---5--------------------| E|-----------7----------------------|
