_ [Bm] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
He bought [Bm] her a diamond covered boat He put her [G] in a ranch house over here
_ [Bb] She could see the [E] valley barbecues from her _ _ _ windowsill
[Bb] [Ebm] See [G] the blues _ _ _
[A] in [G] the squinting sun In the hissing [Em] of [B] summer _ pines _ _ _
[E] _ [B] He _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
[Gm] put up [Bm] a bier _ _ fest to [G] keep out the _ anoon _ [Bm] And [Gb] on every metal thorn just a little blood
of his [D] own _ _
[C] [G] She _ _ patrols that fence surface through a
Latin drum In [D] the hissing of summer _ [G] pines
[Dm] _ _
Wonder makes him do his [G] thing _ [Dm] _ With a joyful _ [G] _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
heart
No [E] darkness, [Dm] darkness, no color, no _
_ [Bb] _ _ contrast _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _

[D] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] better _ _ don't _ [D]
leave [Bm] _ _ _ Diamond or can we [G] make a pen and key _
[E] Into a double _ _ glass We're gonna [Bb] do much pride [E] and do much [Ebm] shame
[G] There's a black fly buzzing, there's a heat [Bm] wave
In the master's voice, hissing summer long _ _ He _
[E] _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
[Bb] gave [Bm] her his darkness _ _ _ [D] and [G] _ good reason to
quit him He [Gb] gave her a room full of chip and ale _
That [Bm] nobody sits in [D] _ [C]
Still [G] she stays with the love of some kind
It's the [D] lady's [A] choice, the hissing [D] of summer _ [Em] long
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
