♫ Intro:

G+G G MajorG G+G G MajorG


♫ Verse 1:

G+G
We went up the mountain
      Bm7Bm7
Last Friday night
All of the animals
         Bm7Bm7
Were out in plain sight
      G+G
They didn’t bid us to follow them
          Bm7Bm7
They didn’t hiss us away
No, to us, my love
           G+G    G6G6   G7G7  G9G9
They had nothing to say

♫ Chorus:

     G+G
And while you saw the tremor
And you saw the wings
      C majorC
You saw the glistening white teeth
               B minorBm
I was busy with things in my mind
 C majorC      B minorBm
Things that I tend to
   C majorC      G+G       G+G
As though to survive

♫ Verse 2:
    G+G
I’m not proud I was asking you
          Bm7Bm7
Do you dim yourself down?
       Bm7Bm7
Do you say terrible things about me
       G+G
When I’m not around?
      G+G
You sweep a hand through the clearing
       Bm7Bm7
Say can’t you see?
       Bm7Bm7
There ain’t anything threatening you here
      G+G   G6G6   G7G7  G9G9
Least of all me

♫ Chorus:
      G+G
Put your life on the easel
There, right next to mine
     C majorC
We ain’t living like weasels
               B minorBm
We don’t have the time, never will
C majorC       B minorBm     G+G
All of the creatures made for the dark woods
Whooping, that’s what I heard
      C majorC
What if the easel fell over
                  B minorBm
And the paintings were burned to a crisp?


♫ Outro:
       C majorC       B minorBm
Nights like these I can’t quite tell
 C majorC      G+G
