Richard Shindell - Gray Green Chords

CAPO: 2nd Fret



INTRO: C  Dm  F  G  (2x)

C    Dm          F      G        C    G      Dm 
Gray green - his baby's eyes are gray green
           G    Am     G     F
She closes them, sleep comes
         C    G       C
To carry her away


         Dm  F      G     C  G   Dm
He's singing: noni, noni, noni
     G     Am          G    F
Even though she's long gone 
       C G       
Down into his arms


  Dm Am    F          C          Dm Am
A siren is crying way off in the distance
F           C           G         
Calling her back to the world 


C  Dm   F             G      C         G  Dm
Outside, the midnight sky is clearing
          G      Am   G      F
The Three Marias shine down
             C         G       
And find her where she dreams


C  Dm    F                G         C         G  Dm
So sweet, the breeze that stirs the curtains
                G       Am G  F
The breeze they send to tease
          C    G       
Her hair across her eyes


    Dm Am F             C                 Dm Am
The siren climbs like a thief through the window 
F           C           G      
Calling her back to the world


INSTRUMENTAL:    Dm  Am   F   C   Dm  Am  F  C  G


   C   Dm  F          G     C         G    Dm 
He chooses, asks them to forgive him
          G     Am  G    F
The Three Marias winking
             C      G      C
He pulls the window down


     Dm          F      G        C    G      Dm 
Gray green - his baby's eyes are gray green
           G    Am     G      F
She closes them, sleep comes
         C    G   
To carry her away
