Fruits Of My Labor - Lucinda Williams

Fruits Of My Labor chords

Capo 1


      G
Baby, see how I been living
       Am                      C
Velvet curtains on the windows to
         G
Keep the bright and unforgiving
Am                 C
Light from shining through
G                        C
Baby, I remember all the things we did
G                              C
When we slept together and the blue behind your eyelids
Am          C
Baby, sweet baby


Traced your scent through the gloom
'Til I found these purple flowers
I was spent, I was soon 
Smelling you for hours
Lavender, lotus blossoms too
Water the dirt, flowers last for you

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



Baby, sweet baby


Tangerines and persimmons
And sugarcane
Grapes and honeydew melon
Enough fit for a queen
Lemon trees don't make a sound
'Til branches bend and fruit falls to the ground
Baby, sweet baby


Harmonica


Come to my world and witness
The way things have changed
'Cause I finally did it, baby
I got out of La Grange
Got in my Mercury and drove out west
Pedal to the metal and my luck to the test
Baby, sweet baby


I been tryin' to enjoy 
All the fruits of my labor
I been cryin' for you boy 
But truth is my savior
Baby, sweet baby if it's all the same
Take the glory and day over the fame
Baby, sweet baby
