Lucinda Williams – Fruits Of My Labor (Guitar)

      G
Baby, see how I been living

       Am                      C
Velvet curtains on the windows to

         G
Keep the bright and unforgiving

   Am                 C
Light from shining through

      G                        C
Baby, I remember all the things we did

     G                              C
When we slept together and the blue behind your eyelids

Am          C
Baby, sweet baby

              G
Traced your scent through the gloom

         Am                   C
'Til I found these purple flowers

        G
I was spent, I was soon

   Am               C
Smelling you for hours

G          C
Lavender, lotus blossoms too

G               C
Water the dirt, flowers last for you

Am    C
Baby, sweet baby

         G
Tangerines and persimmons

    Am              C
And sugarcane

      G
Grapes and honeydew melon

      Am             C
Enough fit for a queen

  G                   C
Lemon trees don't make a sound

     G                        C
'Til branches bend and fruit falls to the ground

Am     C
Baby, sweet baby

        G
Come to my world and witness

    Am               C
The way things have changed

        G
'Cause I finally did it, baby

  Am                C
I got out of La Grange

       G              C
Got in my Mercury and drove out west

       G                  C
Pedal to the metal and my luck to the test

Am    C
Baby, sweet baby

       G
I been tryin' to enjoy

       Am                C
All the fruits of my labor

       G
I been cryin' for you boy

    Am              C
But truth is my savior

      G                  C
Baby, sweet baby if it's all the same

        G                C
Take the glory any day over the fame

Am    C
Baby, sweet baby
