[Gm] down to [Eb] the beach
[Cm] watching the [F] waves [Bb] dragging out of [Gm] our reach
[Am]
dangling [Ab] tails like a [F] sod in [C] sheet
[Am] dangling [Ab] on trails from the [F] guard of [C] the sea
hoarding our [D] means, [Gm] alfalfa and [Eb] rose
[C] trying not to [F] catch the [Bb] cold eye of [G] the ghost
[A] I hope [Am] mother [Ab] nature [F] has not [C] overheard
though she [A] [Am] blows [Ab] out her like a [F] fukin [C] bird

[Gm] and after [Eb] some time
[Cm] stung in [F] my case
must [Bb] have made up their [Gm]

Wake [Gbm] with my ears [Am] cocked up [C] like a [Bb] gun

To [D] the sugar [Gbm]-fried courtyard
Now [C] tell me, what have I done?
[Bb] Seems [Dm] I have stolen a horse
[C] And I slip to [E] the [D] gallows
Who [Gbm] do you think [Am] that you [C] are?
[Bb]
[Dm] Arching your hooves like [C] cranes
[E] A shallow [D] gutter that [Gbm] lines the
[Am] [Em] boulevard
[Bb]
[Dm] Crowded with folks who just [C] stare as I [D] hang
[Gm] It's all [Eb] the same
[Cm] Kindness [F] comes over me
[Bb]
What was [Gm] your name?
[Am] It makes [Ab] no difference
[F] I'm glad that you came
