Chords

[Intro] G D G D [Verse 1] Just paint a picture of the world
   G             D
In gentle pastel shades
Indistinct and somehow blurred
     G             D
Like childhood escapades

    Gm              D
The painting box is rather dear

        G                     A7
But the paints themselves are cheap

G
Leave your pack at the side of the road

                       D
I'll show you where to sleep
[Verse 2] Dead brown weeds in a ditch at the side
     G                D
Of a field of burning corn
The road opens out before you
         G                   D
Like the womb where you were born

        Gm            D
There's no need to pretend again

   G                 A7
To try and earn your keep

G
Leave your pack at the side of the road

                       D
I'll show you where to sleep
[Instrumental] D G D G D Gm D G A7 G D [Bridge]
    F#                 G
And crowds will gather in the sun

   A7             D
As stone madonnas weep

        F#            G
And the shepherd is a good man

                         A7
As he tends his flock of sheep
[Verse 3]
   D
In case you find your tortoise shell

   G              D
Is getting rather tight
You can wrap yourself in your magic cloak
    G              D
And disappear from sight

    Gm                 D
And I will stand guard over you

   G                    A7
As through the door you creep

G
Leave your pack at the side of the road

                       D
I'll show you where to sleep
