ESaw the sycamore   Funderneath the moon
AmI was waiting for something, and you were Csleeping
out there in the Dliving room
and it was E5:16 AM   Fthe air was sharp and cool
Amand I wondered where you buried our Cdark little Djewel
Chorus:
and the heat (Gflies?) in the Droom
I am digging Cgraves, I am digging Dgraves
and the water bGoiling on the Dstove
I am digging Cgraves, I am digg-Ding graves
[back to first pattern]
So I held you close to me
I saw the shadows start to gather outside
beneath the sycamore tree
and something was changing
there was something here entirely new
first thing into blossom inside of us both
with the sun coming up and me holding onto you
[to chorus pattern]
and your body breath(ing) on mine
i am digging graves, i am digging graves
and your hands fly thru my hair
i am digging graves, i am digging graves
[repeat chorus chords twice, end on E]

Saw the sycamore underneath the moon

and it was 5:16 AM the air was sharp and cool

Am C D

and I wondered where you buried our dark little jewel

Chorus:

G D

and the heat (flies?) in the room

I am digging graves, I am digging graves

[back to first pattern]

So I held you close to me

I saw the shadows start to gather outside

beneath the sycamore tree

and something was changing

there was something here entirely new

first thing into blossom inside of us both

with the sun coming up and me holding onto you

[to chorus pattern]

and your body breath(ing) on mine

i am digging graves, i am digging graves

and your hands fly thru my hair

i am digging graves, i am digging graves

[repeat chorus chords twice, end on E]
