Kingdom Of The Animals

E D A (2x)

[Verse 1]
    E
(Aaaah)
           D                              A
Jenny was gone, and the moon blooms all shinin'
        E
As we dragged our panic up and down the riverbed
  D                                   A
Sweatin' wild and weird in our Sunday clothes

[Verse 2]
    E
(Aaaah)
           D                              A
Jenny was gone, though I thought that I knew her
          E
And the rain came howlin' out of Virginia
  D                                  A
Blue tick blowin' the water out her nose

[Verse 3]
   F#m
(Aaaah)
          D                          A
Jenny and me, in the front row and singin'
           E
'Bout how heaven calls the kingdom of the animals
D                               A
All and all revealed to us one day

[Verse 4]
   F#m
(Aaaah)
          D                        A
Jenny and me, on the hilltop and peekin'
             E
At all their upturned bottles jumpin' like leopards
D                                       A
Jaw harp teasin' the brush fire in its rage

[Verse 5]
    E
(Aaaah)
           D                              A
Jenny came back, and the wet road still shinin'
        E
In our eyes an angel clear and coronal
  D                                   A
Clothed in all that's prodigal and strange

[Verse 6]
    E
(Aaaah)
            D                           A
Jenny came back, and I thought that I heard her
        E
Murmur somethin' 'bout no men in Virginia
 D                                        A
Spat on the ground like a letter tossed away

[Verse 7]
   F#m
(Aaaah)
          D                         A
Jenny and me, in my dead truck and turnin'
                 E
Over just where heaven calls the kingdom of the animals
  D                                              A
Scratchin' our heads where the wolf would go to lay

[Verse 8]
   F#m
(Aaaah)
          D                             A
Jenny and me, as the moon blooms were closin'
          E
Both her wide-eyed brothers runnin' like shepherds
  D                                      A
Dreamin' the heat of the fields all in flames
