Fm6 Dmaj7 Bm7 He bought her a diamond for her throat Gmaj7 He put her in a ranch house on a hill E7 She could see the valley barbecues E13 From her window sill Gmaj7 Esus4 See the blue pools in the squinting sun Bm7 Dmaj7 Bm7 Hear the hissing of summer lawns
[Verse 2]
Fm6 Dmaj7 Bm7 He put up a barbed wire fence Gmaj7 To keep out the unknown E7 And on every metal thorn E13 Just a little blood of his own Gmaj7 She patrols that fence of his Esus4 To a latin drum Dm7 And the hissing of summer lawns

[Verse 3]
Bm7 Diamond dog Gmaj7 Carrying a cup and a cane E7 Looking through a double glass E13 Looking at too much pride and too much shame Gmaj7 There's a black fly buzzing Esus4 There's a heat wave burning in her master's voice Bm7 Dmaj7 Bm7 The hissing of summer lawns
[Verse 4]
Fm6 Dmaj7 Bm7 He gave her his darkness to regret Gmaj7 And good reason to quit him E7 He gave her a roomful of Chippendale E13 That nobody sits in Gmaj7 Still she stays with a love of some kind Esus4 It's the lady's choice Dm7 The hissing of summer lawns
