Introduction:
G
I can still see you there
C G G/F#
In your grass-stained underwear
Em G
Dancing crooked circles
Am C D
Across the golf course green
G
It must have been 3 a.m.
C G G/F#
When we hopped that chain link fence
Em G
And ran across the grass
D D4 D
In the pouring rain
G
Oh and you kept falling down
C G G/F#
and rolling on the ground
Em G
like a drunken little bird
Am C D G B-
flapping its broken wings
C G Bm C
Flapping your broken wings, flapping your broken wings
C Em C D4 D G G/F#
flapping your broken wings in the green, green grass
Em
As if pilgrims with axes
C
had never seen the devil dancing
C#X4202X
in the silent branches
C
of thousand year old trees
Em
As they sailed up the wild coast
C
leaning from their wooden boats
C#
shooting every pretty bird
C
that rose up from the weeds
G
When the sun began to rise
C G G/F#
I could see it in your eyes
Em G
and shining on the golf balls
Am C D
lying in the grass
G
And a rusted chain link fence
C G G/F#
a golf cart in a ditch
Em
and the colored flags
G D D4 D
you pulled from all the holes
G
Like jewels on your green dress
C G G/F#
my lady of the golf course
Em G
running in your underwear
Am C D G B
to greet the cops who'd driven up
C G Bm C
Flapping your broken wings, flapping your broken wings
C Em C D4 D G B
flapping your broken wings in the green, green grass
C G Bm C
Flapping your broken wings, flapping your broken wings
C Em C D4 D G
flapping your broken wings in the green, green grass
