Verse 1:
Bm7Bm7
He bought her a diamond for her throat
Gmaj7Gmaj7
He put her in a ranch house on a hill
E6add9
She could see the valley barbecues
E9b5
From her window sill
Gmaj7Gmaj7 A13A13
See the blue pools in the squinting sun
Bm7Bm7
Hear the hissing of summer lawns
Dmin7no5 - D7D7
Bm7Bm7
He put up a barbed wire fence
Gmaj7Gmaj7
To keep out the unknown
E6add9
And on every metal thorn
E9b5
Just a little blood of his own
Gmaj7Gmaj7
She patrols that fence of his
A13A13
To a latin drum
Dmin7
And the hissing of summer lawns

Wonder makes it easy

Tube's gone darkness darkness darkness
No color no contrast

Bm7Bm7
A augmentedA diamond dog
Gmaj7Gmaj7
Carrying a cup and a cane

Looking through a double glass
E9b5
Looking at too much pride and too much shame
Gmaj7Gmaj7
There's a black fly buzzing
A13A13
There's a heat wave burning in her master's voice
Bmin7
The hissing of summer lawns
Dmin7no5 - D7D7
Bm7Bm7
He gave her his darkness to regret
Gmaj7Gmaj7
And good reason to quit him
E6add9
He gave her a roomful of Chippendale
E9b5
That nobody sits in
Gmaj7Gmaj7
Still she stays with a love of some kind
A13A13
It's the lady's choice
Dmin7
The hissing of summer lawns

Darkness
