[Verse 1]

Chord diagramG+G                Chord diagramC majorC         Chord diagramG+G
I wonder if this blade ever ran through someone's side
Chord diagramA minorAm           Chord diagramC majorC
The blood wiped away to hide
Chord diagramC majorC                   Chord diagramG+G
How evil you grandfather was 'fore he died
Chord diagramG+G             Chord diagramC majorC     Chord diagramG+G
But war can make monsters out of us all
Chord diagramA minorAm           Chord diagramC majorC
I'm sure I'd become one if I was called
Chord diagramG+G         Chord diagramC majorC   Chord diagramD7D7
And then it would be my blade
       Chord diagramC majorC  Chord diagramG+G
Here at this yardsale
[Verse 2]
(repeat verse 1 chords)

The guitar I am holding is way out of tune
The neck it is warped and the saddle is through
I wonder if sweet music ever was played
From the hands of a boy to a girl in the shade
From this rickety ghost of a song
Here at this yardsale


[Verse 3]
(repeat verse 1 chords)

Chord diagramA augmentedA dollar for anything here on this quilt
Chord diagramA augmentedA price tag for hands from which all things are built
Chord diagramA augmentedA blanket of voices speak pleasure in shame
Flowers of plastic and fruit of the same
Chord diagramA augmentedA basket of nothing at all
Here at this yardsale


[Verse 4]
(repeat verse 1 chords)

So if I had the money I'd buy everything
And cover the whole lot with good gasoline
And burn it for all that I care for the past
And rid mother earth of what never should last
And give her the present of ash
