Monument In Green

C7 C C7 C F9maj7 -VERSE- C7 C Well I rode the green across this country. C7 C Horses lived and died to take me F9 Men I killed to help me get there, further west I died to take me. C7 C Blackened face and dirty laundry. C7 C Many days since I have eaten. F9 Found myself a family. Broke my back so I could feed them. -CHORUS- C7 C C7 C High in the wind. F9 Standing in the sun. C7 C C7 C We're gonna' raise up the heavens. F9 With a shovel and a gun. Am I was so much younger then. C I would never ever listen. Am I am so much older now. C I thought that things would end up different. Am G Farewell, lover in green. -VERSE- C7 C Elizabeth she is my lady. C7 C Says the prayers and does the learnin'. F9 Waking up all the children. Making love in early morning. C7 C We took to building up the cities. C7 C We built the churches in our cities. F9 Happy in the green country. And in the green they buried me. -REPEAT CHORUS- -BRIDGE- Am C Am C Oh. She sang hymns that made me cry. Am C Oh. She danced so tender. Am C G As I held you in the green. *Bridge ends with a flurry of notes I do not know. -INTRO CHORDS WITH HARMONICA IN C- -SPOKEN VERSE- C7 C C7 C Well I'm dead now.
