Capo 4
[Intro]
  G    B7    C    Dx2
[Verse 1]
Well I came alGone to fB7ind a litCtle piece of mGind
NegGlected all my dutB7ies stepping ofCf that straightened liGne
Now I just sGit at my frB7ont door filled with iEmndolence and sAounds
It's like I'm watGching the weDeds grow on my bGrow
And I had pGure poteB7ntial and a soCiled white shiGrt
With loGve enough to kiB7ll me but was uCnsure of its worGth
And though the nGight is sweB7etened by some rEmising of the moAon
I've lived enouGgh to know the bDattle's never thGrough
[Chorus]
You paCss something doGwn, no maDtter where or hGow
Well there'll be weCeds or wildflGowers afDfixed upon your bows
And there's a croCoked burning Gcigarette rolEmling on your tonAgue
Will there be weeGds or wildflowDers when you're doGne
[Instrumental]
  G    B7    C    Dx2
[Verse 2]
Remember you tGravel to the deB7sert or tCravel to the sDea
Looking oGut on the horB7izon asking wChat you mean to Gme
And as we alGl hang arouB7nd with a free or toiled EmmindA  
WhilGe all of our Dbranches entGwined
And as I watGch the brB7ick erode Cwithin a dDay
The leaveGs change their B7colors and the Cloft fills with hayG  
And as a blaGde of sunB7shine cutEms across my cheAst
The Gblood beneath bDoils with uGnrest
[Chorus]
You paCss something doGwn, no maDtter where or hGow
Well there'll be weCeds or wildflGowers afDfixed upon your bows
And there's a croCoked burning Gcigarette rolEmling on your tonAgue
Will there be weeGds or wildflowDers when you're doGne
[Interlude]
GLa  La  B7La  La  CLaaDa
GLa  La  B7La  La  CLaaDa
GLa  La  B7La  La  EmLaaCaD  
GLa  La  B7La  La  EmLaaCaD  
[Chorus]
Blown aCbout by the Gwind, a Dworthless little Gthing
But the Cworld can feel the Gchanges of a Dbutterfly's wings
And so that Ccrooked burning Gcigarette Emrolling on your tAongue
Will leave as Gweeds before your Dflowers yet have Ggrown
Will there be Gweeds or wildDflowers when you're Gdone

Capo 4

[Intro]

G B7 C D

[Verse 1]

G B7 C G

Well I came alone to find a little piece of mind

G B7 C G

Neglected all my duties stepping off that straightened line

G B7 Em A

Now I just sit at my front door filled with indolence and sounds

G D G

It's like I'm watching the weeds grow on my brow

G B7 C G

And I had pure potential and a soiled white shirt

G B7 C G

With love enough to kill me but was unsure of its worth

G B7 Em A

And though the night is sweetened by some rising of the moon

G D G

I've lived enough to know the battle's never through

[Chorus]

C G D G

You pass something down, no matter where or how

C G D

Well there'll be weeds or wildflowers affixed upon your bows

C G Em A

And there's a crooked burning cigarette rolling on your tongue

G D G

Will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done

[Instrumental]

G B7 C D

[Verse 2]

G B7 C D

Remember you travel to the desert or travel to the sea

G B7 C G

Looking out on the horizon asking what you mean to me

G B7 Em A

And as we all hang around with a free or toiled mind

G D G

While all of our branches entwined

G B7 C D

And as I watch the brick erode within a day

G B7 C G

The leaves change their colors and the loft fills with hay

G B7 Em A

And as a blade of sunshine cuts across my chest

G D G

The blood beneath boils with unrest

[Chorus]

C G D G

You pass something down, no matter where or how

C G D

Well there'll be weeds or wildflowers affixed upon your bows

C G Em A

And there's a crooked burning cigarette rolling on your tongue

G D G

Will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done

[Interlude]

G B7 C D

La La La La Laaa

G B7 C D

La La La La Laaa

G B7 Em C D

La La La La Laaa

G B7 Em C D

La La La La Laaa

[Chorus]

C G D G

Blown about by the wind, a worthless little thing

C G D

But the world can feel the changes of a butterfly's wings

C G Em A

And so that crooked burning cigarette rolling on your tongue

G D G

Will leave as weeds before your flowers yet have grown

G D G

Will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done
