[Intro]

Cm Cm


[Verse 1]

                     Fm                 G
Lay your head where my heart used to be

               Cm        Ab
Hold the earth above me

                            G  
Lay down in the green grass

                   Cm 
Remember when you loved me

             Fm           G
Come closer don't be shy

                           Cm       
Stand beneath a rainy sky

            Ab        G 
The moon is over the rise

                   Cm
Think of me as a train goes by

            Fm                   G
Clear the thistles and brambles

                    Cm      Ab
Whistle 'Didn't He Ramble'

                            G
Now there's a bubble of me

           Cm              Fm
And it's floating in thee


[Middle Section]

           Bb             Eb
Stand in the shade of me

                           Ab
Things are now made of me

The weather vane will say...

     G
It smells like rain today


[Verse 2]

                           Fm          G
God took the stars and he tossed 'em

                                Cm      Ab
Can't tell the birds from the blossoms

                            G
You'll never be free of me

               Cm
He'll make a tree from me

                Fm         G
Don't say good bye to me

               Cm       Ab
Describe the sky to me

                       G
And if the sky falls, mark my words

             Cm
We'll catch mocking birds

[Verse/Outro]

                             Fm          G
Lay your head where my heart used to be
                 Cm      Ab 
Hold the earth above me
                             G
Lay down in the green grass
                   Cm         Cm
Remember when you loved me
