Joanna Newsom - Sprout and the bean

^BI slept all day a^G#mwoke with distaste and I ^Brailed, and I ^G#mraved

^EThat the difference between ^C#the sprout and the bean ^Eis a golden ring, ^C#it is a twisted string. ^EAnd you can ask the counselor; ^C#you can ask the king; and they'll ^Esay the same thing; ^C#and it's a funny thing:

Should we ^Ego outside? Should we ^C#go outside? Should we ^Ebreak some bread? Are y'^C#interested?

^BAnd as I said, I s^G#mlept as though dead dreaming ^Bseamless dreams of ^G#mlead.

^EWhen you go away, ^C#I am big-boned and fey ^Ein the dust of the day, ^C#in the dirt of the day.

^Eand Danger! Danger! Drawing near them was a white coat, ^C#and Danger! Danger! drawing near them was a broad boat, ^EAnd the water! water! running clear beneath a white throat, ^C#and the hollow chatter of the talking of the Tadpoles,

who ^F#know th'^Eoutside! Should we ^C#go outside? Should we ^Ebreak some bread? Are y'^C#interested?
