_ _ _ _ [Am] He [Bm] bought her a giant corporate boat He put her [G] in a ranch house on the hill
_ [E] She could see the valley barbecues from her _ windowsill
[G] She could see the blues _ _
[E] in the [G] squinting sun in the hissing of [B] summer _ _ _ lawns
_ _ He [Dm] put [Bm] up a barbed wire fence [G] to keep out the unknown
_ [F#m] And on every metal thorn, just a little blood of his own

[Bm] _ _ _ in [G] a cup and a key, [E] and through a double glass
We're gonna [F#m] do much pride and do much shame
[G] There's a black fly buzzing, there's a heat wave [A] burning in her master's voice
The hissing of [Bm] summer lawns _ _ _ _ _

Still [G] she stays with the love of some kind
It's the [D] lady's choice, the hissing of summer [G] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
