{Verse 1]
C
I knew a horse
F
I watered him everyday
C
We got divorced
G
Then everything changed
C
And then I left
F
In pursuit of Scottish showers
G C
Hope the horses there know how to sprout flowers
[Verse 2]
C
There was a bird
F
Who showed me her ways
C
I did my best
G
And practiced everyday
C
But did not learn
F
How to make horses grow
G C
Now I’ve packed my bags and hit the road
[Chorus]
Am C
I still find the soil of our love
Am C
In my teeth and in my dreams
Am C
But I know it was a fruitless affair
G F C
And I’ll leave that to the bird and her bees
[Verse 3]
C
You may hear this tale
F
And think I don’t know a thing
C
But I swear
G
I’ve heard that horse sing
C
And I know
F
What I am talking about
G C
He just kept spitting all my water out
[Chorus]
Am C
I still see him tucking his tail
Am C
In my thoughts and in my dreams
Am C
When the snails are decomposing me
G F C
I hope he’s pollinated by the bees
[Bridge]
F Fm C
I once knew how to plant good seeds
F Fm C
Somehow now the skill escapes me
F Fm C
Shut myself in and I forgot
G Fm
I’m grown now
N.C. C G
But I’m only a moth
[Chorus]
Am C
I still see him tucking his tail
Am C
When I’m falling off to sleep
Am C
When the snails are decomposing me
G Fm
I hope he’s with the bird
N.C. C F C G C
And her bees
