The Bones In The Ground chords by Robyn Hitchcock

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
  E MajorE    BB
Oh Vera my sweet
    D MajorD       A augmentedA
I would offer you some meat
   E MajorE      BB      A augmentedA
In exchange for a good loaf of wax
    E MajorE      BB
I would smear it on you
    D MajorD        A augmentedA
And on all your apples too
   E MajorE        BB    A augmentedA
If I thought it would help you relax


    E MajorE      BB
But the bones in the ground
     D MajorD      A augmentedA
Well they never make a sound
    E MajorE      BB       A augmentedA
And the bones in the ground are all fine
    E MajorE      BB
And the bones in the air
     D MajorD       A augmentedA
Well they haven't got a care
    E MajorE      BB      A augmentedA
And the bones in the air are all mine

Verse 2:
  E MajorE     BB
Oh shiny Maureen
     D MajorD          A augmentedA
Won't you tell me where you've been
     E MajorE       BB       A augmentedA
And I'll work out where you should be now
   E MajorE     BB
In a cluster of apes
    D MajorD          A augmentedA
That do rub themselves with grapes
     E MajorE      BB     A augmentedA
You'll be tied to the back of a cow


    E MajorE      BB
But the bones in the ground
     D MajorD      A augmentedA
Well they never make a sound
    E MajorE      BB       A augmentedA
And the bones in the ground are all fine
    E MajorE      BB
And the bones in the wind
     D MajorD       A augmentedA
Lord have mercy how they grinned
    E MajorE      BB      A augmentedA
And the bones in the wind are all mine

Verse 3:
  E MajorE     BB
Oh Paula-Lorraine
     D MajorD       A augmentedA
Won't you comment on my sprain
     E MajorE      BB     A augmentedA
And I'll shave you in some cozy church
    E MajorE        BB
I don't care what you're called
    D MajorD         A augmentedA
I just want to shave you bald
     E MajorE       BB      A augmentedA
And I'll know that I've finished my search


    E MajorE      BB
But the bones in the ground
     D MajorD      A augmentedA
Well they never make a sound
    E MajorE      BB       A augmentedA
And the bones in the ground are all fine
    E MajorE      BB
And the bones in the air
     D MajorD        A augmentedA
Well they sing a rattling air
    E MajorE      BB      A augmentedA   E MajorE
And the bones in the air are all mine
