verse 1
G C D G
Andy, do you love me? Do you think about it? Will you say?
G C D G
Turning brushwood into blazes, turning summer grass into hay
Bb C
Turning sharply past the graveyard
G C
To the lakefront with the black waves licking up the stones
Bb C
To the swayed back screened in front porch
G C
Who could ever stay the weight of flesh and bones
verse 2
G C D G
Andy, aren't you tired from the sun and rain and river soaking you
G C
From the beer cans on your dashboard
D G
and the bullet hole glass spiderweb staining your rear view
Bb C
I have watched you watch an empty road
G C
Is it only her upon which all of you is depending
Bb C
To fill your twenty hour work day
G Am
While all the fences in this county still need mending
G
Hey
verse 3
Em D
And in the night I do my checking
Em7 F G
And fix the broken parts with visions of rare beauty
D
But in my heart I know I'm second,
Em Bb D7
Forever fixed in your pursuit it is my duty
G
Hey
verse 4
G C D G
Andy, will you toss me a little scrap of something that I can taste
G C
Instead of dust from all the leaving
D G
And the smell of summer lying here to waste
Bb C
Under the burnt pyre of all the cast away
G C
The tiny shoots will spring like questions will you take me
Bb C
Out to the fenced hill sprinkled with horses
G
Wild in resistance to the taming
C G
Will you break me? Will you break me?
