C#m G#m A E
Under yellow and sagging moons
C#m A E B
In her homely blue gown
C#m G#m A E
Wavering and anxiously
C#m A E B
She put the grass in the ground
D A E
All at once I was lonely
F# B B7
All at once I was blue
D A E
Couldn’t imagine the hummers
F# B B7 E F#
All around them I stood
E A
Shine fer the fences and
E A
Weep fer the clusters and
E A F#
Drooping thine eyes upon
E A
Riddum of the farmer and
E A
Lips of the garrulous
E A F#
In the twilight of song
C#m A
There ain’t no remedy
F# E
For a song come to an end
C#m A
There’s nothing and nobody
F# D A E
That can soothe her wounded hymn
C#m G#m A E
Close of day, mosquito spray
C#m A E B
I watched a bird blue and brown
C#m G#m A E
Warbling and wavering
C#m A E B
She put the grass in her mouth
F#m Bm
La da da da, La da da da
