From the album Last Days of Wonder [INTRO] E7 A7 D5 A5 F#5 D5 Am [VERSE 1]

Am
I left a black shoe hanging from a telephone wire

         Dm             Am
I threw hubcaps in the bushes

             B7                E7
Filled the creek with burning tires

[VERSE 2]

Am
I drove circles in the meadow

      Dm          Am
threw TVs off a cliff

    B7             E7                  A7   D7
I scattered dirty needles in a grassy ditch

D5 A5 F#5 D5 [PRE-CHORUS]

D
Shopping carts of garbage

    C#7
overturned in silver ponds

   F#7
in fields of wild mustard

   D7                A7
I abandoned several cars

[CHORUS]

       C#7
At the edge of town, these golden jewels

   D7                E7  A7
I left them all for you

D5 A5 F#5 D5 [BRIDGE]

Dm
You, hiding in the falling leaves

         Gm
and the spider's dew-dropped ring

      A7
You, lying in the muddy river

           Dm           A7
with ten thousand wild wings

[PRE-CHORUS]

D
I will set the world on fire

           C#7
pluck the stars down from the sky

   F#7
if you will spend with me, my dear

   D7            A7
a single summer night

[CHORUS]

       C#7
At the edge of town, my golden jewel

     D7               E7  A7
I'm waiting here for you
