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
