Billy's Band - Cold Ground (Tom Waits)

 

 

C                           Am

Crest fallen sidekick in an old cafe

        C                           Am

Never slept with a dream before he had to go away

           C                       Am

There's a bell in the tower Uncle ray bought a round

       F                         G

Don't worry when you lay in the cold,

 

                   C

   The cold cold ground

           Am

   In the cold cold ground

               C

   Cold cold ground

           Am

   In the cold cold ground

 

Now don't be a cry baby when there's wood in the shed

There's a bird in the chimmney and a stone in my bed

When the road's washed out they pass the bottle around

And wait in the arms of the

 

   Cold cold ground

   In the cold cold ground

   The cold cold ground

   In the cold cold ground

 

There's a ribbon in the willow and a tire swing rope

And a briar patch of berries takin over the slope

The cat'll sleep in the mailbox and we'll never go to town

Til we bury every dream in the cold

 

   Cold ground

   In the cold cold ground

   Cold cold ground

   In the cold cold ground

 

Crest fallen sidekick in an old cafe

Never slept with a dream before he had to go away

There's a bell in the tower Uncle ray bought a round

Don't worry when you lay in the cold,

 

   The cold cold ground

   In the cold cold ground

   Cold cold ground

 In the cold cold ground
