NOTE: These chords are NOT from the studio version, they're from a live performance.

Tuning: Standard No Capo [Intro] G [Verse 1]
G C G I wonder if this blade ever ran through someone's side Am C The blood wiped away to hide C G How evil you grandfather was 'fore he died G C G But war can make monsters out of us all Am C I'm sure I'd become one if I was called G C D7 And then it would be my blade C 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) A dollar for anything here on this quilt A price tag for hands from which all things are built A blanket of voices speak pleasure in shame Flowers of plastic and fruit of the same A 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
