[Intro]
Am F C G
 
[Verse 1]
Am C G F
Well the night began with a Neil Young chord
Dm F G
Lazy and lovely and bored
Am F Dm G
With my ear on her belly, and my legs off the edge
Am F G
And I couldn’t quite tell if we were still holding hands
 
Am F C G
 
[Verse 2]
Am C G F
She said something about starfish and the Oregon coast
Dm F G
Drifting and lilting, the song and her voice
Am F Dm G
And she finished, I think, with a hand through my hair
Am F G
And I answered a kiss on the belly: I’m still there
 
Am F C G
 
[Verse 3]
Am C G F
And the rain through the screen leaves innocuous tears
Dm F G
Like the sky’s doing fine it just got dust in its eye
Am F Dm G
But the candle on the sill, it’s sensitive still
Am F G
And it chokes back and flickers its sympathies
 
Am F C G
 
[Verse 4]
Am C G F
And I’m trying to think of something I might want
Dm F G
But the harvest is there in my arms
Am F Dm G
And the night trickles on by itself if we want
Am F G
Completely complete in its own empty charms
 
Am F C G
 
[Verse 5]
Am C G F
I can smell that there’s still half an orange to eat
Dm F G
And the harmonica carries a tray full of cheese
Am F Dm G
But my love says Neil Young’s voice is like spoiled red wine
Am F G
Well it’s lucky, it’s lucky she’s so beautiful and kind
 
[Outro]
Am F C G
