This is really how I play this song Solo,

So add all you need for solos for guitar two and such...

For Intro Interelueds and solos use the Verse Timeing For All.

Intro:

So the fields are stubble, the garden is done where

the scary scarecrow stands and sees her holding up horizons with her hands.

She's so tired of reading Daddy's lips - -that essay

on a frown. Watch her memories of human voices drown.

Chorus:

Let horsey bray break between the thunder boom. Make

grasses' swish meet the cricket's ring.

Let every sound consecrate our whispering words that

Betta never heard.

Solo played over:

Verse:

So The backlanes tie the city down; a mess of dirty

string. Winter dies the same way every spring.

As the sky tries on its uniform of turned off t.v.

grey, and the way we watched her watch us walks away,

Chorus:

let every rain clatter down at groaning streets. Make

footsteps tick, talk to echoed walls.

Let every sound consecrate our whispering the words

that Betta never heard.

Whurlitzer and whirly-wind and guitar Solos played over:

Chorus:

Let every wind howl and creak the creaking doors to

rooms that too much has happened in.

Let every sound consecrate our whispering the words

that Betta never heard.
