[Verse 1]
G Am7 G G Raise your family of ghosts and spirits, G Am7 G G* Sir, we really need to drink from your wine, G Am7 G G And yes, your skeletons in the closets, G Am7 G G* Might I bring a few of mine? G Am7 G G Let's see what we can't see, G Am7 G G* Unlock your books for a change, G Am7 G G G Am7 G G Glass excavated, bits of china, Mulberry Row scars still remain.
[Chorus 1]
C G Bones are everywhere, aren't they? C G Our families spring from their graves, C G Their Sunday Best don't fit them bones the same way, C G G* And wine is seeping from the barrel staves, G Am7 G G Again.
[Interlude]
G Am7 G G*
[Verse 2]
G Am7 G G I'm in your tea room toasting lives unchanged, G Am7 G G* While music's playing by the garden's edge, G Am7 G G Outside rusted joints prove souls asleep, G Am7 G G* Can flowers bloom from this vintage? G Am7 G G Relative skeletons nervously shuffle, G Am7 G G* We glance around community of our own, G Am7 G G Quiet valley drips with hints of laughter, G Am7 G G Mr. Jefferson, can we slip these bones?
[Chorus 2]
C G And bones are everywhere, aren't they? C G G* What do you think they'd see through those trees? C G G Resurrected Spirits Dancing,' you don't say!? C G G* The minstrel's new arrangement of history.
[Interlude]

[Bridge]
G Am7 G G We danced, and drank the sun! G Am7 G G It over flowed and washed the past away, G Am7 G G We roamed! Echo! Laughter! G Am7 G G Spirits danced a jig around their graves.
[Verse 3]
G Am7 G G Then came the rain. G Am7 G G* A garden craves a balance of both, G Am7 G G From the garden, they're all running from the garden, G Am7 G G* We're all looking for the garden, so much to maintain,
[Chorus 3]
C G Bones are everywhere aren't they? C G G* Ghosty spirits dash right past me, C G G Finding hidden spaces, favored places, C G G* Families disperse to their graves . . .,
[Outro]
C G G Bones are here to stay aren't they? C G G* We cultivate the bones that we're of, C G G Sir, if you caught me drunk on wisdom, C G* Would you say I've had enough?
