Joanna Newsom – Sprout And The Bean (Guitar)

C
I slept all day

Asus2      Am
awoke with distaste

C
and I railed,

Asus2   Am
and I raved

F
That the difference between

D7
the sprout and the bean

F
is a golden ring,

D
it is a twisted string.

F
And you can ask the counsellor;

D7
you can ask the king;

F
and they'll say the same thing;

D
and it's a funny thing:

F
Should we go outside?

D
Should we go outside?

F
Should we break some bread?

D
Are y'interested?

C
And as I said,

Asus2            Am
I slept as though dead

C
dreaming seamless dreams 

Asus2  Am
of lead.

F
When you go away,

D7
I am big-boned and fey

F
in the dust of the day,

D
in the dirt of the day.

F
and Danger! Danger! Drawing near them was a white coat,

D7
and Danger! Danger! drawing near them was a broad boat,

F
And the water! water! running clear beneath a white throat,

D
and the hollow chatter of the talking of the Tadpoles,

F
who know th'outside!

D7
Should we go outside?

F
Should we break some bread?

D
Are y'interested?
