This is a more correct version I think than the other one, the previous version had way 
too many chord changes that werereally just little runs played between the main chords

[Intro]
Am
CWe came in this Gworld toAmgether
GLegs wrapped 'round each Amother
FMy cheek against my sister's
We were bCorn like Gtangled Amvine
CWe lived aGlong the rAmiver
Where the Gblack clouds never lAmingered
The sFunlight spread like honey
Through my sCister's Gtiny Amhands
CBut while picking sGour apAmples
In tGhe wild waving gAmrasses
Sister Fstumbled in the brier
And was Cbitten Gby a Amsnake
[Bridge]
F Am
[Chorus]
GEvery creature casts a Amshadow
GUnder the sun's golden fCinger
GBut when the sun sinks past the Amwaving grass
GSome shadows are dragged aAmlong
CAlone, I Gtook to dAmrinking
GBottles of cheap Amwhiskey
And sFtaggering through the back woods
Killing sCnakes with a Gsharpened Amstick
CBut still I Gheard her Amlaughing
In the Gwild waving grAmasses
Still her Ftiny hands went splashing
At the Criver's sGparkling Amshore
CSo I took my Grusty Amgas can
GAnd an old iron Amshovel
I sFet the woods to burning
And choked the rCiver Gup with Amstones
[Bridge]
F Am
[Chorus]
GEvery creature casts a Amshadow
GUnder the sun's golden fCinger
GBut when the sun sinks past the Amwaving grass
GSome shadows are dragged aAmlong

[Intro]

C G Am

We came in this world together

G Am

Legs wrapped 'round each other

My cheek against my sister's

C G Am

We were born like tangled vine

C G Am

We lived along the river

G Am

Where the black clouds never lingered

The sunlight spread like honey

C G Am

Through my sister's tiny hands

C G Am

But while picking sour apples

G Am

In the wild waving grasses

Sister stumbled in the brier

C G Am

And was bitten by a snake

[Bridge]

F Am

[Chorus]

G Am

Every creature casts a shadow

G C

Under the sun's golden finger

G Am

But when the sun sinks past the waving grass

G Am

Some shadows are dragged along

C G Am

Alone, I took to drinking

G Am

Bottles of cheap whiskey

And staggering through the back woods

C G Am

Killing snakes with a sharpened stick

C G Am

But still I heard her laughing

G Am

In the wild waving grasses

Still her tiny hands went splashing

C G Am

At the river's sparkling shore

C G Am

So I took my rusty gas can

G Am

And an old iron shovel

I set the woods to burning

C G Am

And choked the river up with stones

[Bridge]

F Am

[Chorus]

G Am

Every creature casts a shadow

G C

Under the sun's golden finger

G Am

But when the sun sinks past the waving grass

G Am

Some shadows are dragged along
