Green and Dumb

Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers

Capo 3rd

Intro: G :320033

Riff 1: over G C9 Em7 D Dsus2 D

Daisies stand up on their tiptoes

And clouds stumble over themselves in the sky

And all the pretty horses come runnin' to her

And even the dust devils pray

That they'll catch her eye

Riff 1

I haunt her house from the outside

I watch her bake cornbread and talk on the phone

And the wireless on the inside plays a sad, sweet song

A mute moonlit statue am I

She waltzes alone

Riff 1

Chorus:

But baby, baby, I could call you baby

If I weren't so empty in the head and tied up in the tongue

And baby, baby, I could call you baby

If I weren't so green and dumb

Riff 1 (x2)

The wind ain't stopped blowin' since mornin'

It's got me froze up on the inside

And I could get warm in the bunkhouse

Thaw out on coffee and bread

Chorus

I need your government warnin'

Like I need a hole in my head

But I won't shoot your coyotes, and I won't burn your weeds

Your paycheck won't fill up this hollow, won't dull all the a - chin'

Chorus
