Chords relative to capo
The other chords on here are perfect, but this is a different way to play it and I find it more
fun this way.
This is taken from the album Sleep Through the Static. There is another version on another album with a
capo on the second fret rather than the third. Some versions I have heard also have an intro using
the verse chords with no lyrics.
Intro
C/G
C/GI gotta get home, there's a garden to tend
All the fruit's on the ground
And the birds have all moved back Dminto my attic whistling static
When the young learn to fly I will patch all the holes up agaC/Gin
C/GWell, I can't believe that my lime tree is dead
I thought it was sleeping, I guess it got fed up withDm not being fed
And I would be too I need food in my belly
And hope that my time isn't sC/Goon.
C/GSo I try to understand what I Dmcan't hold in my hand
And Fwhatever I find, GI'll find my way back to C/Gyou
C/GAnd if you could try to find it too
'Cause this Dmplace has overgrown and it's a waxing moon
FHome is wherever we are if there's Glove there C/Gtoo
C/GIn the back of my house there's a trail that won't end
I was walking so far that it grew back in
Now there's Dmno trail at all, only grass growing tall
Get out my machete and battle with time once agaC/Gin
DmBut I'm 'bout to lose 'cause I'll be damned if time don't C/Gwin
C/GI gotta get home there's a garden to tend
All the seeds from the fruit buried and began
Their Dmown family trees, teach them thank you and please
As they spread their own roots then watch the young fruit grow C/Gagain
DmThis old trail will lead me right back to where it begC/Gins
C/GSo I try to understand what I Dmcan't hold in my hand
And Fwhatever I find, I'll Gfind my way back to C/Gyou
C/GAnd if you could try to find it too
'Cause this Dmplace has overgrown and it's a waxing moon
FHome is wherever we are if there's Glove there C/Gtoo
