Chords with lyrics
[Intro]
G+G B minorBm C majorC D MajorD x2
[Verse 1]
G+G B minorBm C majorC G+G
I came along to find a little peace of mind
G+G B minorBm C majorC G+G
neglectin' all my duties, steppin' off that straightened lin
G+G B minorBm E minorEm A minorAm
now I just sit by my front door filled with indolence and sound
G+G D MajorD G+G
it's like I'm watchin' the weeds grow on my brow
[Verse 2]
G+G B minorBm C majorC G+G
and I had a pure potential in a soiled white shirt
G+G B minorBm C majorC G+G
with love enough to kill me, but was unsure of its worth
G+G B minorBm E minorEm A minorAm
and though the night is sweetened by some rising of the moon
G+G D MajorD G+G
I've lived enough to know the battle's never through
[Chorus]
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
you pass something down, no matter where or how
C majorC G+G D MajorD D MajorD
will there be weeds or wildflowers affixed upon your bows
C majorC G+G E minorEm A minorAm
there's a crooked burning cigarette rollin' on your tongue
G+G D MajorD G+G
will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done
[Interlude]
G+G B minorBm C majorC D MajorD x2
[Verse 3]
G+G B minorBm C majorC G+G
remember you traveled through the desert, you traveled to the sea
G+G B minorBm C majorC G+G
lookin' out on some horizon, asking what you mean to me
G+G B minorBm E minorEm A minorAm
and we all hang around with a free or toiled mind
G+G D MajorD G+G
while all of our branches entwine
[Verse 4]
G+G B minorBm C majorC G+G
and as I watch the brick erode from day to day
G+G B minorBm C majorC G+G
the leaves change their colors and the loft fills with hay
G+G B minorBm E minorEm A minorAm
as a blade of sunshine cuts across my chest
G+G D MajorD G+G
the blood beneath boils with unrest
[Chorus]
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
you pass something down, no matter where or how
C majorC G+G D MajorD D MajorD
will there be weeds or wildflowers affixed upon your bows
C majorC G+G E minorEm A minorAm
there's a crooked burning cigarette rollin' on your tongue
G+G D MajorD G+G
will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done
[Interlude]
G+G B minorBm C majorC D MajorD x3
G+G B minorBm C majorC A minorAm
[Bridge]
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
blown about by the wind, a worthless little thing
C majorC G+G D MajorD
but the world can feel the changes of a butterfly's wing
C majorC G+G E minorEm A minorAm
and that crooked burning cigarette rollin' on your tongue
G+G D MajorD G+G
will leave its weeds before your flowers yet have sprung
