(Capo on 2nd fret)

[Bm]  [F#m]       [G]     [D]     [Bm]   [F#m]       [G]     [A]
Under yellow and sagging moons    In her homely blue gown

[Bm] [F#m]   [G]   [D]   [Bm]        [F#m]        [G]     [A]
Wavering and anxiously   She put the grass in the ground



[C}    [G]        [D]       [E]               [A] [G]
All at once I was lonely,   All at once I was blue

[C}      [G]         [D]       [E]               [A] [G] [F#m] [E]
Couldn’t imagine the hummers   All around them I stood


[D]           [G]          [D]           [G]
Shine for the fences and   Weep fer the clusters and

[D]      [G]        [A]
Drooping thine eyes upon

[D]           [G]           [D]         [G]
Riddum of the farmer and,   Lips of the garrulous

[D]    [G]         [A]
In this twilight of song

[Bm]           [G]             [E]             [D]
There ain’t no remedy,   For a song come to an end

[Bm]                [G]               [E]                [C][G][D]
There’s nothing and nobody   That can soothe her wounded hymn(x3)



[Bm]      [F#m]   [G]  [D]     [Bm]        [F#m]         [G]     [A]
Close of day, mosquito spray   I watched a bird blue and brown

[Bm] [F#m]   [G]  [D]       [Bm]    [F#m]        [G]     [A]
Warbling and wavering   She put the grass in her mouth

(back to “All at once…”)

        [E]               [A]
la  di  da  da    la  di  da  da

        [C]               [D]
la  di  da  da    la  di  da  da (x2)
