--------------------------------------- Intro A E x2 Verse
A                                    E (riff 1)
In the failing light of the afternoon

A                                      E (riff 1)
Lucy in the shade of the dogwood blooms

A                                    E (riff 1)
Yesterday the solace of a poison fish

A                                             B
Tomorrow I'll be kissing on her blood red lips

A                                         E (riff 1)
No one is the savior they would like to be

A                                              E (riff 1)
The lovesong of the buzzard in the dogwood tree

A                                                       E (riff 1)
With a train of horses laughing through the traffic line

A                                           B
And the cradle's unimaginative sense of time

A (riff 2) E x3
A (riff 2) B (riff 2)

A                                         E (riff 1)
Springtime and the promise of an open fist

A                                     E (riff 1)
A tattoo of a flower on a broken wrist

A                                      E (riff 1)
Lucy tells me jokingly to wipe her brow

A                                                B
With a pocket map to heaven and the sun goes down
Outro A (riff 4) E x4
