Chords with lyrics

• Capo on 2nd

Verse 1:
    G+G      D MajorD
In the corner of a front yard
   C majorC      G+G
If an old country town
   C majorC    G+G       D MajorD
Sat a cricket, tucked in the grass
    G+G      D MajorD      C majorC       G+G
Well he wondered and pondered the stars and the sky
    C majorC       G+G        D MajorD
And for how long each one's like might last
    BB      E minorEm     D MajorD  G+G
But he worried that he was the only one
    C majorC      G+G    C majorC   D MajorD
Asking questions so darn existential
     BB     E minorEm    D MajorD       G+G
He looked up to the sky, his hopes not too high
     C majorC   G+G     C majorC   D MajorD
He could see no room for potential

Verse 2:
    G+G     D MajorD     C majorC        G+G
Then he happened upon an old snail right nearby
    C majorC     G+G       C majorC    D MajorD
And she shot him a look that was cold as ice
     BB     E minorEm
She said darlin' be careful
     D MajorD        G+G
With the thoughts in your head
     C majorC       G+G      C majorC    D MajorD
There are questions that need not be answered
      BB       E minorEm
'Cause the more that you know
  D MajorD      G+G        C majorC G+G   C majorC   D MajorD
The more you're alone, you would be her disaster

Bridge:
    C majorC    G+G       C majorC G+G
So the cricket hung his head low
      C majorC   G+G       C majorC  D MajorD
That his antenae dragged on the ground
    C majorC      G+G      C majorC G+G
Then he saw all the humans come home
     C majorC     G+G      D MajorD
Did they hear when he made his sound

Verse 3:
     G+G  D MajorD       C majorC     G+G
He cried why, why don't they listen to me
    C majorC     G+G     C majorC      D MajorD
When I cry to the night or I sing to the breeze
  BB     E minorEm    D MajorD     G+G
Oh why was I even born with these wings
        C majorC     G+G      C majorC    D MajorD G*
When it's like noone has ears to hear or eyes to see

Solo:
G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G
C majorC G+G C majorC D MajorD
BB E minorEm D MajorD G+G
C majorC G+G C majorC D MajorD G*

Verse 4:
    G+G     D MajorD    C majorC        G+G
Now his journey completed across that front yard
    C majorC   G+G       D MajorD
Feeling broken worn down and weary
     BB    E minorEm    D MajorD      G+G
He looked up in a tree and there sat a jay
    C majorC    G+G       C majorC   D MajorD
Looking smug and frankly quite cheery

Verse 5:
     G+G  D MajorD      C majorC     G+G
He said, son sit down and listen to me
    C majorC     G+G   C majorC     D MajorD
If you open your eyes, you will believe
      BB   E minorEm  D MajorD      G+G
That you're never alone, soon you'll see
   C majorC    G+G     C majorC     D MajorD  G*
That wherever nature is, your home will be

Outro:
G+G D MajorD     C majorC    G+G
La la la la, la la la la
C majorC G+G    C majorC    D MajorD
La la la la la la la la
BB    E minorEm D MajorD   G+G
La la la la, la la la
C majorC    G+G     C majorC     D MajorD  G*
Wherever nature is, your home will be
C*    G*     C*    D*  G*
Wherever nature is, your home will be


* means one strum down
