The Dead Tongues


Tom: Em

Em, Am, Em, Am , D, Am, Em

[Verse 1]
Em
If I had a dollar I'd give you all my money
             D                            Em
Put it in an envelope and send it to you, honey
    Am                        Em
I'd give it with a smile, I'd do whatever it takes
D                           Em
Give it as a garden gives a snake

[Verse 2]
Em
If I had a dollar, I'd give it 'til I'm dying
                 D                  Em
Give it 'til the sun and stars stop shining
Am                              Em
Give it 'til the bluest ocean's drying
D                                Em
Give it 'til the canyon took the sand

Am, Em, Am , D, Am, Em

[Verse 3]
Em
If I had a dollar, I wouldn't keep a cent
             D                                    Em
Wouldn't pay any amount, wouldn't wonder how it's spent
    Am                           Em
I'd wonder in the valley and I'd walk until I'm dead
D                         Em
Watch the sky slowly turn red

[Verse 4]
Em
Give it like a cloud gave the falling rain
                 D                   Em
Give it like the blood running in my veins
    Am                              Em
I'd give it through the sorrow, I'd give it through the pain
D                         Em
Give through the commonly insane
