🎸 Verse 1:
G             C  Em
Wrapped in the wings of a sparrow
F           C Cmaj7
Beak is as sharp as an arrow
G           C  Em
Sings in a whispering whistle
F           C  Cmaj7
Sleeps in the ivy and thistle
G           C  Em
Owls out swooping and howling
F           C  Cmaj7
Deep in the midnight a-prowling
G            C Em
Mama, the scream of the eagle
F               C Cmaj7
Threading my heart through the needle
G                C Em
Threading the blood through the apple
F             C Cmaj7
Sucking the juice from the apple
G            C Em
Eating the seeds of the apple
F            C Cmaj7
Bearing the tree of the apple
G              C  Em
Trapped in the weeds like a scarecrow
F           C Cmaj7
Stuck to the wind like Velcro
G           C  Em
Distantly hearing the bell toll
F             C Cmaj7
Warbling chime through the meadow

🎸 Verse 2:
G            C Em
Mama, the scream of the eagle
F               C Cmaj7
Threading my heart through the needle
G                C Em
Threading the blood through the apple
F               C Cmaj7
Eve sucked the juice from the apple
G         C  Em
Nakedly running, I saw her
F           C  Cmaj7
Boy chasing after to stall her
 G            C  Em
I wish I'd have spoken to call her
 F            C   Cmaj7
Before she found fabric to shawl her
G                C Em
Breasts bound and burdened with fiber
F           C  Cmaj7
Adam came trembling beside her
    Cmaj7
And he said, and he said
   G          C  Em
That she has the poison inside her
F              C  Cmaj7
She talks to snakes and they guide her
G          C  Em
She has the poison inside her
F              C  Cmaj7
She talks to snakes and they guide her
G          C  Em
She has the poison inside her
F              C   Cmaj7
She talks to snakes and they guide her
G          C  Em
She has the poison inside her
F              C   Cmaj7
She talks to snakes and they guide her
