Cm, F, Bb, Gm,
Am7, Ab, F, C
Am7, Ab, F, C
C D
we picked our way
Bb Ebmaj7
down to the beach
Cm F Bb Gm
watching the waves dragging out of our reach
Am7 Ab F C
tangling tails like a sodden sheet
Am7 Ab F C
dangling entrails from the gut of the- sea
C D
hoarding our means
Bb Ebmaj7
alfalfa and rose
Cm F Bb Gm
trying not to catch the cold eye of the gulls
Am7 Ab F C
i hope mother nature has not overheard
Am7 Ab F C
though she doles out hurt like a puking bird
C, F, C, F

Lalala…
C E
stayed for the winter
D F#m C Em
no one told us about the laws of the land
Bb Dm
i hold my own
C E
but you with your hunger
D F#m C Em
you on the other hand
Bb Dm
make yourself known
C D
and when we were found
Bb Ebmaj7
i know we both grieved
Cm F Bb Gm
my heart made the sound of snow falling from eaves
Am7 Ab
you and me, bess
F C
we were as thick as thieves
Am7 Ab
so i swore nonetheless
F C
up and down it was only me
C D
so they took me away
Bb Ebmaj7
and after some time
Cm F
studying my case
Bb Gm
must've made up their minds
Am7 Ab F C
by the time you realized i was dying
Am7 Ab
must've been too late
F C
i believe you were not-uh lying
C, F, C, F
Am7, Ab, F, C
C, F, C, F
Am7, Ab, F, C
Lalala…
C E D F#m C Em
it is the day i wake with my ears cocked up like a dawn
Bb Dm
like everyday, of course
C E D F#m
yanked by my wrist to the sugar front courtyard
C Em
nah tell me what have i done
Bb Dm
seems i have stolen a horse
C E
and escaped to the gallows
D F#m C Em
who do you think that you are
Bb Dm
arching your hooves like a queen
C E D F#m C Em
in the shallow gutter that line the boulevards
Bb Dm
crowded with folks who just
C D
stare as i hang
Bb Ebmaj7
it's all the same
Cm F
kindness comes over me
Bb Gm
what was your name
Am7 Ab
it makes no difference
F C
I'm glad that you came
Am7 Ab F C
forever i'll listen to your gla-a-d name
La la la....
