D7sus2 Bm7 He bought her a diamond for her throat, D/G He put her in a ranch house on a hill, Daug/E E7 She could see the valley barbecues from her window sill, E7 (E6/C#) (EmM7/C) Gmaj7/B Gmaj7/A See the blue pools in the squinting sun, Bm7 Hear the hissing of summer lawns
[Verse 2]
Dm7/A D7sus2 Bm7 D/G He put up a barbed wire fence to keep out the unknown, Daug/E E7 And on every metal thorn just a little blood of his own, E7 (E6/C#)(EmM7/C) Gmaj7/B Gmaj7/A She patrols that fence of his to a latin drum, G/D And the hissing of summer lawns

Bm7 D/G Diamond dog carrying a cup and a cane, Daug/E Looking through a double glass, E7 E7 Looking at too much pride, and too much shame, Gmaj7 There's a black fly buzzing, Gmaj7/A There's a heatwave burning in her master's voice, Bm Bmadd11 Bm Hissing summer lawns
[Verse 4]
Dm7/A D7sus2 Bm7 He gave her his darkness to regret, D/G And good reason to quit him, Daug/E E7 He gave her a roomful of Chippendale that nobody sits in, E7 (E6/C#) (EmM7/C) Gmaj7/B Still, she stays with a love of some kind, Gmaj7/A It's the lady's choice, G/D F/D G/D F/D The hissing of summer lawns (Dark - ness!
