Intro: G

Verse:
G
Climb ye higher and higher and higher
            C                              G
'Til you're far away and breathing cleaner air
G
Oh my brother, my brother, my brother
             C                                         G
Who have you become in the wake of all that's happened here?

Chorus:
        D7                              C
They're burning down the orchard to the soil
                    G
To the soil, to the grave
D7                           C
Spreading out the ashes of a love
                   G
That only gave and gave

Verse:
G
Climb ye higher, and higher, and higher
           C                                    G
There's no room for all the hearts who will not stay
G
Oh my brother, my brother, my brother
C                                               G
The horses are running, the horses are running away

Chorus:
    D7                           C
Our hands are pulling everything apart
                    G
Fall apart, falling back
D7                                    C
Tell yourself there's no more need to lie
                           G
We don't have time for that

Interlude: D7 C G D7

Bridge:
C
It's okay, it's okay
G D7
C
My love will fall with grace

Verse:
G
Climb ye higher, and higher, and higher
          C                                G
Leave our footprints to be lost along the ground
G
Oh my brother, my brother, my brother
         C                             G
There is nothing left to bring me back down

Chorus:
D7                             C
Spreading out our ashes in the sun
                   G
In the sun, in the sun
D7                             C
Spreading out our ashes in the sun
                   G
In the sun, in the sun

Biography

Destiny itself assembled the Crane Wives, and now they seek only to make music worthy of destiny. That, and act as silly as humanly possible.

“The Crane Wife is an old Japanese tale. While there are many variations of the tale, a common version is that a poor man finds an injured crane on his doorstep (or outside with an arrow in it), takes it in and nurses it back to health. After he releases the crane, a woman appears at his doorstep with whom he falls in love and marries.
