[Intro]
Em Am C G
Am C G
[Verse 1]
G Am
The dapper Judas reaches back and slaps the students
C G
He says, "The mutt was an American man"
G Am
Well, he howls and he puffs after all that he can touch
C G
But, his arms, they're never so long as his hands
[Verse 2]
G Am
The troubled leper shuts his eyes and does some guesswork
C G
Oh so carefully with confidence and crayons
G Am
Saying daily, "My allegiance goes to gardens where graffiti grows
C G
And choirs of competing moans command"
[Verse 3]
G Am
That same troubled leper says, "It is not just the effort
C G
It will take to finally make my stand
G Am
It's a different colour collar and a hundred thousand dollars
C G
For a decent piece of arable land"
[Chorus]
G
Around the bend
Em Am C G
Oh, where the grass grows wild over every merry mile
Am C G
And Dan-Dan Schlemmer sleeps out in the van
Em Am C G
There comes one long, soft sigh on the wind for you and I
Am C G
And the good fruit is a-bend at every branch
[Verse 4]
G Am
The hapless maiden looking back at beds she's laid in
C G
Says, "I've yet to meet the man who knows
G Am
Well, they tell me between heavy breaths that, darling, after god and death
C G
I long to know what's hid beneath your clothes
[Verse 5]
G Am
And the self-appointed middleman approaches with his brittle hands
C G
Says, "I don't ever go that close
G Am
But I wish there were a lover or someone I could lean on
C G
and tell them I know something that they don't"
[Verse 6]
G Am
And I would lie, lie, lie if it makes you feel alright
C G
Though, it ain't worth the wait to lay alone
G Am
But if you have to stay, I will return someday
C G
With every little thing that I stole
[Chorus]
G
Oh, very good
Em Am C G
Oh, where the grass grows wild over every merry mile
Am C G
And Danny Schlemmer sleeps out in the van
Em Am C G
There comes one long, soft sigh on the wind for you and I
Am C G
And the good fruit is a-bend at every branch
[Outro]
Em Am C G
Am C G
Em Am C G
Am C G
