Verse 1
Em A Em As if you know the story of Wallowa Lake C G Am Leviathan first hid in the deep where her children sleep D G She kept them hidden from the plague Em A Em But have you heard the story of my mother’s fate? Em C Am G C Am She left us in Detroit in the rain with a pillowcase D G C Fortune for the paperweight
Verse 2
Em A We followed her to Joseph, near the Indian raid G Em C G Am She wept among the weeds, hide and seek, for the fallen chief G Spathiphyllum on his grave Em A F#m A G And like the cedar waxwing, she was drunk all day C G Am We put her in the sheet, little wreath, candles on the crate D G As the monster showed its face
Chorus 1
D C F As she waits for her children in the shade Am Demogorgon or demigod the ghost parade A# Am C D A No oblation will bring her back to our place C G A# F G
Verse 3
Em D G She stayed within the deep end of Wallowa Lake Em C G Am The undertow refrained with the flame of a feathered snake G Charybdis in its shallow grave Em A G She gave us one last feature, the fullness of her face Em C G Am In the shade of "Hin-mah-too-yah…" (Red Napoleon) G As the demon took her place
Chorus 2
D C F As we wait for the waters to reside Am Her remarkable stoicism and her pride A# F Am D A When the dragon submerged we knew she had died
