[G]
[D] father was a stood up baker old on a rainy stretch of road, my mother was lilacs carried [G] on a breeze
[D] My brother was a bike with a banana seed, a [D] baseball bat, a book of greek myth, a pair of jeans with [G] holes in the knees
[Bm] And one spring day the pretty girls with the long haired pigeons in the town square, the fair green hills, [G] the blue sky above you get along and pour a little [A] cappin' thistles down below
