♫ Intro:

Em Am C G
Am C G



♫ Verse 1:
G                           Am
   The dapper Judas reaches back and slaps the students
              C                    G
He says, "The mutt was an American man"
         G                        Am
Well, he howls and he puffs after all that he can touch
         C                                  G
But, his arms, they're never so long as his hands

♫ Verse 2:
G                               Am
   The troubled leper shuts his eyes and does some guesswork
      C                             G
Oh so carefully with confidence and crayons
       G                             Am
Saying daily, "My allegiance goes to gardens where graffiti grows
    C                            G
And choirs of competing moans command"

♫ Verse 3:
G                               Am
That same troubled leper says, "It is not just the effort
        C                       G
It will take to finally make my stand
       G                             Am
It's a different colour collar and a hundred thousand dollars
      C                      G
For a decent piece of arable land"

♫ Chorus:
           G
Around the bend
              Em          Am        C           G
Oh, where the grass grows wild over every merry mile
    Am                C                 G
And Dan-Dan Schlemmer sleeps out in the van
                Em         Am          C                G
There comes one long, soft sigh on the wind for you and I
        Am              C             G
And the good fruit is a-bend at every branch

♫ Verse 4:
G                             Am
   The hapless maiden looking back at beds she's laid in
            C                       G
Says, "I've yet to meet the man who knows
           G                                   Am
Well, they tell me between heavy breaths that, darling, after god and death
  C                                    G
I long to know what's hid beneath your clothes

♫ Verse 5:
        G                           Am
And the self-appointed middleman approaches with his brittle hands
       C                    G
Says, "I don't ever go that close
      G                          Am
But I wish there were a lover or someone I could lean on
    C                                    G
and tell them I know something that they don't"

♫ Verse 6:
            G                   Am
And I would lie, lie, lie if it makes you feel alright
                 C                      G
Though, it ain't worth the wait to lay alone
G                         Am
   But if you have to stay, I will return someday
     C                         G
With every little thing that I stole

♫ Chorus:
         G
Oh, very good
              Em          Am        C           G
Oh, where the grass grows wild over every merry mile
    Am              C                 G
And Danny Schlemmer sleeps out in the van
                Em         Am          C                G
There comes one long, soft sigh on the wind for you and I
        Am              C             G
And the good fruit is a-bend at every branch
