Intro
A E x2
Verse
A E (riff 1)
In the failing light of the afternoon
A E (riff 1)
Lucy in the shade of the dogwood blooms
A E (riff 1)
Yesterday the solace of a poison fish
[A]Tomorrow I'll be kissing on her blood red lips[B]
A E (riff 1)
No one is the savior they would like to be
A E (riff 1)
The lovesong of the buzzard in the dogwood tree
A E (riff 1)
With a train of horses laughing through the traffic line
[A]And the cradle's unimaginative sense of time[B]
A (riff 2) E x3
A (riff 2) B (riff 2)
A E (riff 1)
Springtime and the promise of an open fist
A E (riff 1)
A tattoo of a flower on a broken wrist
A E (riff 1)
Lucy tells me jokingly to wipe her brow
[A]With a pocket map to heaven and the sun goes down[B]
Outro
A (riff 4) E x4
