Will It Grow Jakob Dylan
(Intro- intro riff, Am riff, solo before 1st verse)
1st verse
[Am]I made a p[C]romise to [F]not let [Fmaj7]go
Our tug of w[C]ar has only made me [C/G]want you mo[F]re
[C]Steeped in [C/G]hard luck and d[F]oomed to [Fmaj7]roam
F Am riff
My love is braver than you know
2nd verse
My forefathers they worked this land
And I was schooled in the tyranny of nature’s plans
Dressed in thunder a cloud came round
In the shape of a lion a hand came down
Chorus-
[F]Damn this va[C]lley
[F]Damn this co[C]ld
[C]Take so [C/G]long to l[F]et me k[Am]now
It’s pla[F]nt and r[C]eap and p[F]low and s[C]ow
C Am7 or B7*
But tell me will it grow
(intro riff x2)
(mini solo)
3rd verse
Dig my ditches in the golden sun
I’d be robbing these trains if I could catch me one
Sunday Monday now Tuesday’s gone
Got me stone cold sober in a drought so long
Boarded mansions and ghost filled yards
There’s a boy in a water tower counting cars
Steel traps open and empty stalls
There’s a well worn saddle but the horse is gone
Chorus
(intro riff x2)
(Solo 2)
4th verse
Jet black starlit midnight rolls
I am down in the garden where I let go
Here on the surface the earth looks round
But it’s a godless city of cold flat ground
Chorus
(End the song on the intro riff)
