Chords for Augie March "The Good Gardener (On How He Fell)"

_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] This it's a once good _ gardener,
Pale as a shadow of a dower, _ _
Once a [B] happy dweller of a bar in good,
Once a sleepy sinner, [A] once cursed that.
[C#m] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [E] To the scene where the crossy-eyed maids travel of,
To the scene, to the scene, where the dead's corsy stride [A] of,
Drowned in a bar of a bar in a good corridor,
Reap of the deep, and then [C#] the water weep. _
[B] I'll let you know how good _ [E] _ [C#m] gardeners are,
Sick [B] to bring [E] all the spring,
I know [B] where you put grass grows,
I know what you do, [C#] friend,
Well, as I [B] watch you good [E] garden. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ So that's why I call it,
A garden of washing,
A garden of sun's texture,
[A] And when the downpouring winds release the force,
I'll play the meaning of coming [C#] home with you.
[E] You were in the garden when the winds swept off,
And took the flowers from your mouth,
[A] Now you know what you saw as a mirror meets,
It's a tearing with your teeth of the flesh from,
So [C#] your brother [B] just drove to [E] fertilize the flower,
[C#m] Did I hear [B] you saying that the form [C#m] doesn't matter,
The form [B] didn't matter,
The matter [E] is forever,
[C#] On the [B] inner wood front. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Black cloth gown and blue rider,
_ Where the seas of death's toleration of,
[A] Where you've fallen, fallen, fallen again,
To the pebble crevice shore of [C#] forgotten,
And so [E] now you can't see the signs,
When I've seen your sister,
But then nobody thinks of calling somebody else,
[A] How the sun, hungry sun,
Pulls away the river world,
So I shouldn't let you sleep.
[B] _ _ [C#] I [B] was a little [E] blind in the [C#m] state [B] of the summer [E] sham,
_ _ [A] I see them [B] grow tall, see them [E] in their heart,
[C#m] See them [B] not deceived [E] in their sanitary part,
[C#] Oh [B] I was a little [F#] blind,
_ [C#] _
[B] Standing so brainless, afraid,
[E] _ [A] Oh I [B] was a little blind,
So trapped [E] for the spring,
So [C#] in my [B] love it [E] never came,
_ [A] Yeah I [B] was a little blind,
So trapped [F#] for the spring,
So [C#] in my [B] love it [E] never came,
[C#m] Oh [B] I was a little [F#] blind,
[C#m] _ _
[B] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ The sea [B] is dark, [E] _ _
_ _ [G#m] scares [B] me to the [E] point, _
[F#] _ _ [G#m] _ [B] I'll swear I've got [E] it,
[C#m] I've some [B] good [F#] _
stature,
[C#m] The sea [B] is dark and lovely,
[C#m] And scares [B] me to the point [E] of rapture,
_ [C#m] I [B] was your guide,
I've got [E] it,
[C#m] And [A] I'm [B] not prepared,
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ I'm not prepared, _
