Robyn Hitchcock – The Bones In The Ground (Guitar)

   E       B
Oh Vera my sweet

        D              A
I would offer you some meat

     E            B            A
In exchange for a good loaf of wax

        E           B
I would smear it on you

       D               A
And on all your apples too

     E                B        A
If I thought it would help you relax

        E            B
But the bones in the ground

          D            A
Well they never make a sound

        E            B              A
And the bones in the ground are all fine

        E            B
And the bones in the air

          D             A
Well they haven't got a care

        E            B           A
And the bones in the air are all mine

   E         B
Oh shiny Maureen

          D                    A
Won't you tell me where you've been

         E              B             A
And I'll work out where you should be now

     E          B
In a cluster of apes

        D                   A
That do rub themselves with grapes

          E           B         A
You'll be tied to the back of a cow

        E            B
But the bones in the ground

          D            A
Well they never make a sound

        E            B              A
And the bones in the ground are all fine

        E            B
And the bones in the wind

          D              A
Lord have mercy how they grinned

        E            B            A
And the bones in the wind are all mine

   E         B
Oh Paula-Lorraine

          D             A
Won't you comment on my sprain

         E            B         A
And I'll shave you in some cozy church

        E                B
I don't care what you're called

       D                 A
I just want to shave you bald

         E              B           A
And I'll know that I've finished my search

        E            B
But the bones in the ground

          D            A
Well they never make a sound

        E            B              A
And the bones in the ground are all fine

        E            B
And the bones in the air

          D               A
Well they sing a rattling air

        E            B           A     E
And the bones in the air are all mine
