Dmaj7b5/A A
Dmaj7b5/A A my heart became a drunken runt Am D/A on the day i sunk in this shunt A to tap me clean B7/A of all the wonder G/A and the sorrow i have seen A since i left my home Dmaj7b5/A A my home on the old milk lake Am D/A where the darkness does fall so fast A it feels like some kind of mistake B7/A G/A just like they told you it would A just like they told you it would B/E Amaj7/E when i came into my land E7 A/E i did not understand E7 A#dim/E neither dry rot or the burn pile or the bark
beetle or the dry well
Am/E E or the black bale B but there is another E who is a little older G#m when i broke my bone, E he carried me up from the riverside B to spend my life in spitting distance E of the love that i have known G#m i must stay here E in an endless eveningtide B and if you come and see me E you'll upset the order G#m you cannot come and see me E for i set myself apart B but when you come and see me E in California G#m (F#) B you cross the border of my heart B B7 well, i have sown untidy furrows 'cross my soul E Em but i am still a coward B B7 content to see my garden grow so sweet E Em (F#) and full of someone else's flowers G#m (F#) E sometimes i can almost feel the power (F#) G#m (F#) E sometimes i am so in love with you (F#) G#m (F#) E like a little clock that trembles on the edge of the hour (F#) G#m (F#) E only ever calling out "cuck-oo, hoo-oo, hoo-oo" (F#) Dmaj7b5/A when i called you A you little one Am in a bad way D/A did you love me?
do you spite me?
A time will tell B7/A G/A if i can be well A and rise to meet you rightly B/E Amaj7/E when moving across my land E7 A/E brandishing themselves like a burning branch E7 A#dim/E advance the tallow-colored, wall-eyed deer Am/E E quiet as gondoliers B E well, i wait all night for you in California G#m watching the fox pick off my goldfish E from their sorry, golden state B E (sus4) and i am no longer afraid of anything G#m E save the life that here awaits B i don't belong to anyone B7 E Em my heart is heavy as an oil drum B and i don't want to be alone B7 E Em my heart is yellow as an ear of corn B and i have torn my soul apart B7 E Em from pulling artlessly with fool commands G#m (F#) some nights i just never go to sleep at all E and i stand (F#) G#m (F#) E shaking in the doorway like a sentinel, all alone (F#) G#m (F#) bracing like the bow upon a ship E and fully abandoning (F#) G#m any thought of anywhere but home (F#) E my home (F#) G#m (F#) E sometimes i can almost feel the power (F#) G#m (F#) E and i do love you (F#) G#m (F#) E is it only timing that has made it such a dark hour (F#) G#m (F#) E only ever chiming out "cuck-oo, hoo-oo, hoo-oo"

keep a clean plate
A keep from wearing down B7/A G/A if i lose my hay A just where am i going to lay?
