    Our Lawn Chords

    An attempt, at least. Intro:


    Dm7/G CΔ9

    The very best days of the summer

    Dm7/G G6 C6

    Now will they jazz us no more

    Dm7/G CΔ9

    Spare parts and leftover pieces

    Dm7/G G6 Fm6/C CΔ9

    Strewn out across the garage floor

    Dm7/G CΔ9

    Babe it's a sad situation

    Dm7/G CΔ9 GΔ7 FmΔ9

    Tell me, what can it be?

    Dm7/G CΔ9

    What's happening all over Elm Street

    G7 CΔ7

    Is happening all over me

    AΔ7/E D6

    We frolicked here once in reckless green abandon

    AΔ7/E A7-5 DΔ7+5 D6

    Stretching out to the horizon line

    G#m4(13) G#m4(13) G#13

    Even as the season ended

    Gm4(13) Dm9 G7-9

    We were running low on sweet borrowed time

    Dm7/G CΔ9

    Those dead leaves piled up out by the mailbox

    Dm7/G G6 C6

    Stacked up against the first decent blow

    Dm7/G CΔ9

    You wonder what would it feel like

    Dm7/G G6 Fm6/C Ab7(+5)

    To just dive in and let go

    FΔ7 G9/F

    All of sudden there's that tear in your eye

    Am9 Eb3 4

    It’s the end of an era so kiss kiss goodbye

    Dm7/G CΔ9

    Our lawn is dying, we're watching it die

    Dm7 FmΔ67

    Well when the sun starts looking lazy

    On ‘bout a quarter to five

    The girls are talking and laughing

    Up at the top of the drive

    Me stuck here in my wood-paneled dungeon

    Wondering what we're gonna do

    Who's gonna save the Bermudas

    Now that we've forgotten to

    A little taste, a little light conversation

    Isn't that the way it always was

    No lousy zero-sum equation

    Nor a lesson in some long-lost losing cause

    Green Peace Whole Earth Utne Reader

    Tell ‘em that I already gave

    Tell ‘em it's the midnight hour

    Dancing by the side of the grave

    The margins are crumbling now and its starting to show

    You might not even notice cause it’s going down slow

    Our lawn is dying, in case you don't know

    Bb7(3 4) Eb(2)

    Bb7(3 4) Eb(2) Fm7

    Bb7(3 4) Eb(2) AbΔ7 EbΔ7 Fm9 4


    Let's throw a party on this doleful occasion

    Show the bastards who you really are

    No aging overnight sensation

    Hitched his hammock to the wrong shooting star

    All the way from DC to daylight

    Illumination in the cold, gray dawn

    Jacked up on the cellular level

    In case you got to call someone

    There's no one to blame now

    And there's nothing to do

    Let's just make the best of

    What's real and what’s true

    Our lawn is dying, so what else is new
