Green Grass*

Tom Waits

                              Am

Lay your head where my heart used to be

B               Em 

Hold the earth above me

C

Lay down in the green grass

B            Em

Remember when you loved me

 

          Am   

Come closer don't be shy

B                     Em  

Stand beneath a rainy sky

C  

The moon is over the rise

B           Em

Think of me as a train goes by

 

Clear the thistles and brambles

Whistle 'Didn't He Ramble'

Now there's a bubble of me

And it's floating in thee

 

Middle Section:

 

Am        D

Stand in the shade of me

G

Things are now made of me

C

The weather vane will say...

B

It smells like rain today

 

God took the stars and he tossed 'em

Can't tell the birds from the blossoms

You'll never be free of me

He'll make a tree from me

 

Don't say good bye to me

Describe the sky to me

And if the sky falls, mark my words

We'll catch mocking birds
