Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
    Am                    Em
Gone is the garden ?:, gone are the children whom we learned to water
     Am                                       Em
And all the chicks died at dawn starving in a feather pile of their dead mother


Verse 2:
     Am                                       Em
?: straining soft curd draws within the muslin cloth we hung to filter
     Am                                       Em
And all the cows died in line stretching the electric fence to the open pasture

Chorus:
     Am           Em
Nobody can tell, nobody can tell
     Am           Em
Nobody can tell, nobody can tell
         Am           Em
Make love with yourself, the body can't tell
           Am           Em
Nobody can tell, nobody can tell


Verse 3:
       Am                                       Em
Cradle ?: inside the hay loft, he climbs up the ladder
        Am                                       Em
And all the bats died at once fighting in a burning pile of the boys' ?:

          Am                                       Em
There is a lesson: careless eyes ?: the fruit out from behind the story
          Am                                       Em
And all the kids lost ?: clutching at their bellyaches from the poison berries


Chorus:
     Am          Em
Nobody can tell, nobody can tell
      Am          Em
Nobody can tell, nobody can tell
     Am          Em
Make love with yourself, the body can't tell
    Am          Em
Nobody can tell, nobody can tell
