Intro
AE
x2
Verse
A E
(riff 1)
In the failing light of the afternoon
A E
(riff 1)
Lucy in the shade of the dogwood blooms
A E
(riff 1)
Yesterday the solace of a poison fish
A B
Tomorrow I'll be kissing on her blood red lips
A E
(riff 1)
No one is the savior they would like to be
A E
(riff 1)
The lovesong of the buzzard in the dogwood tree
A E
(riff 1)
With a train of horses laughing through the traffic line
A B
And the cradle's unimaginative sense of time
A E
(riff 2) x3
A (riff 2) B (riff 2)
A E
(riff 1)
Springtime and the promise of an open fist
A E
(riff 1)
A tattoo of a flower on a broken wrist
A E
(riff 1)
Lucy tells me jokingly to wipe her brow
A B
With a pocket map to heaven and the sun goes down
Outro
A E
(riff 4) x4
