[Verse 1] Fm Lay your head where my heart used to be G Cm Hold the earth above me Ab Lay down in the green grass G Cm Cm Remember when you loved me Fm Come closer don't be shy G Cm Stand beneath a rainy sky Ab The moon is over the rise G Cm Think of me as a train goes by Fm Clear the thistles and brambles G Cm Whistle 'Didn't He Ramble' Ab Now there's a bubble of me G Cm And it's floating in thee Fm Bb Stand in the shade of me Eb Things are now made of me Ab The weather vane will say... G It smells like rain today [Verse 2] Fm God took the stars and he tossed 'em G Cm Can't tell the birds from the blossoms Ab You'll never be free of me G Cm He'll make a tree from me Fm Don't say good bye to me G Cm Describe the sky to me Ab G And if the sky falls, mark my words Cm We'll catch mocking birds [Interlude] (with whistling) G Cm [Last Verse] Fm Lay your head where my heart used to be G Cm Hold the earth above me Ab Lay down in the green grass G Cm Cm Remember when you loved me
