LITTLE PERENNIALS (Amy Ray)

No Capo

G D C G
Back in the long stretch of loneliness
G D C G
I have come to call a living,
G D C G
I'm getting something for all this love's labor,

G D C G
even when I am forgetting.

Cm
Oh we oh oh little perennials
G
where'd you come from?

G D C G
Daughter of my father's second cousin,
G D C G
loyalties, I got em by the dozen.
G D C G
We share a past, we share a blood relation
G D C G
and that's as good as an invitation.

Cm
Oh we oh oh little perennials
G
where'd you come from?

Em D C
I'm in the North Carolina Mountains,
Em D C
just to the west of where I met my calling.
Em D C
If you look south to the foothills of these mountains rising,
Em D C
that's the place where it feels good falling.
Em D C
That's the place that I know.

G D C G
I look for words to fill the empty spaces,
G D C G
all the life revealed in these back stages.
G D C G
I reach for names like little puzzle pieces;
G D C G
oh perennial, come to me.

Cm
Oh we oh oh little perennials
G
where'd you come from?

Enjoy!
