Guy Clark – Shade Of All Greens (Guitar)

A                           D        A
The blackbird she flies wherever she wants to

Bm                           A
The mockingbird singing, oh, any old song

                                     D          D/C#
And the swallow she's nesting in the rafters of my house

Bm                       E             A
Summer is coming and the geese are all gone

           B          E
You got to fly and let fly

        A                          D          A
Ah, the mower's broke down and the yard's run away with me

     Bm       D                A
I've taken to sitting and just watching it grow

                                D            D/C#
And the rabbits are eating like kings in the driveway

         Bm                  E           A
And I've just about found me no place to go

              B           E
You've got to live and let live

E                          Bm           E
Come sit by my side in the shade of all greens

   A               D                E         A
It smells like the honeysuckle have gone to extremes

    E                       Bm             E
And I've found a reason and you've made it rhyme

    A         D      E               A
And we can go crazy, tomorrow's just fine

A
I'm going to sit on the front porch

          D              A
Until the lightning bugs show up

       Bm          D                A
And it really gets dark and there's dogs in the trash

                                     D           D/C#
It's the first and the last time all rolled into this time

Bm                      E           A
You make me feel like I just took a bath

           B            E
You got to laugh and let laugh

E                          Bm           E
Come sit by my side in the shade of all greens

   A               D                E         A
It smells like the honeysuckle have gone to extremes

    E                       Bm             E
And I've found a reason and you've made it rhyme

    A         D        E       A
And we can go laughin' any old time

           B           E
You got to love and let love

    A         D      E       A
And we can go lovin' any ol' time

           B          E
You got to fly and let fly
