I Cwonder if this blade ever ran Fthrough someone's Cside
The Dmblood wiped away to Fadd9hide
How eFadd9vil you grandfather was 'fFadd9ore he died
But wCar can make monsters oFut of us alCl
IDm'm sure I'd become one Fadd9if I was called
And tChen it would Dmbe my blGade
Here at this Fmaj7yardsCale
ThCe guitar I am holding is Fway out of Ctune
The Dmneck it is warped and the Fadd9saddle is through
I Cwonder if sweet music Fever was Cplayed
FrDmom the hands of a boy to a Fadd9girl in the shade
From this rCickety gDmhost of a Gsong
Here at this Fmaj7yardsCale
A Cdollar for anything Fhere on this Cquilt
A Dmprice tag for hands from which Fadd9all things are built
A Cblanket of voices speak Fpleasure in Cshame
DmFlowers of plastic and Fadd9fruit of the same
A bCasket of Dmnothing at Gall
Here at this Fmaj7yardsCale
So if CI had the money I'd Fbuy everyCthing
And Dmcover the whole lot with Fadd9good gasoline
And Cburn it for all that I Fcare for the Cpast
And Dmrid mother earth of what Fadd9never should last
And Cgive her the Dmpresent of Gash
Made of a Fmaj7yardsCale
