D A (x2)



Verse 1:

              D                                  A
From my good neighbor living south of the borderline
          D                           A  E
I get my share of avocado
Interstate 65
          D                           A
I married one to a tomato from my backyard
        D                                 A    E       Bm
And ceremonial garlic salt rained from the everlasting arms
            D                                   A
Of my good neighbors down the line at the Carey Farm
              D                                      A
Where one day soon a child of one will be a child of all
          E                Bm              D                  A
I'm still broken about the mother I had in mind, she flew the fields
                   D
But crop circles aside

My Queen of the Cob
              A      E      Bm
I loved you then and always will


Chorus:

         A
I've got everything I need:
              E
The chocolate earth and a bag of seeds
        Bm               D                A
And the leakage from the good lord's waterbed
          A                           E
Should my vegetables go rotten from a garden gone forgotten
       Bm             D              C#7    C#
I will lean upon the kindness of my friends
          D                     E                  A
And wash, along with the dinner plates, my helping hands

D A (x2)


Verse 2:

                      D                               A
She was the hurricane dancing in the dark of my kodachrome
                          D                                      A
He took the hammer to the nail, sparked the flash, and drove her home
           E                D
He was the moon that nearly pulled the blue right off the earth
A
Around the time the shake and the burst
   D
Of embryonic forest neighbors
A
Offered a choir of crotchety angels
Bm                  D
Ripping through the house we built
   A                   E
We made our love in a crochet quilt
    Bm                       D
And there in the last of the dawns we cradled
    A          E          Bm
Was all I ever wanted for you: the moon


Chorus:

         A
I've got everything I need:
              E
The chocolate earth and a bag of seeds
         Bm              D                A
And the leakage from the good lord's waterbed
          A                           D
Should my vegetables go rotten from a garden gone forgotten
       Bm            D               C#7    C#
I will lean upon the kindness of my friends
          D                     E                  A
And wash, along with the dinner plates, my helping hands

          D                     E                  A
And wash, along with the dinner plates, my helping hands
