ARTIST: TOM WAITS SONG: WIDOWS GROVE / WIDOWS GRACE TRANSCRIBED BY: Benjamin the Great

I ^Amet y^C#mou in t^F#mhe sadd^C#mle, rode you in the dust He^F#mld your^C#m hand to ^Gthe h^Eeavens, pulled your heart to the earth Ther^Ae was^C#m somethin^F#mg that ^C#mblinded me more than the mist An^F#md the b^C#mreath of ^Dthe cottonwood buds lighter yet

An^F#md you rode ^C#mthe maypole of dance hall legs An^F#md galloped ^C#mto another's embrace An^Dd I bit^A the fl^Eowers from your wrist corsage An^Bmd you wa^Eltz^Bmed t^Eoo slowly, too slowly you waltzed Wi^Gth t^Ehat girl from Widow's Grove

Oh, ^AI'd^E foll^Aow yo^Eu t^Ao ^Ethe river, that washes out to the s……ea Thro^Augh the w^Bmind,^C#m throug^Ah the rain of a cold dark night Th^Eat'^As where I'll be

Near the breath of a swallow, petals dropped as you fell And you grabbed then shyly held me, against the stone cold well In your hand was a glass, you held the ice against the night And it dripped and it sparkled and I laughed a wish Before it all slipped down the dark tunneled well I heard it melt quietly and I looked at you Bent to the earth with just one pleading wish Your skirts brushed to the furious pounding Oh, I'd follow you to the river, that washes out to the sea Through the wind, through the rain of a cold dark night That's where I'll be

I hi^Ad in th^C#me elm and^F#m raised the bough, that hung even with your ^C#mneck An^F#md I chased ^C#myou and d^Growne^Ed you, there deep in the well And ^Awhen yo^C#mur mouth ^F#mwas full and wet, I swallowed all your ^C#mreckless fate

An^F#md with yo^C#mur last b^Greath, ^Eyou moaned too drunk to wake Oh, I'd follow you to the river, that washes out to the sea Through the wind, through the rain of a cold dark night That's where I'll be Through the wind, through the rain of a cold dark night That's where I'll be
