• Capo on 4th

CAPO: 4


Intro: G D   G D

verse 1

Just paint a picture of the world
  G       D
In gentle pastel shades

Indistinct and somehow blurred
   G       D
Like childhood escapades
  Gm       D
The painting box is rather dear
    G           A7
But the paints themselves are cheap
G

Leave your pack at the side of the road
            D
I'll show you where to sleep


verse 2

Dead brown weeds in a ditch at the side
   G        D
Of a field of burning corn

The road opens out before you
     G          D
Like the womb where you were born
    Gm      D
There's no need to pretend again
  G         A7
To try and earn your keep
G
Leave your pack at the side of the road
            D
I'll show you where to sleep


Instrumental: D   G D   G D Gm D G A7 G   D


Bridge

  F#         G
And crowds will gather in the sun
  A7       D
As stone madonnas weep
    F#      G
And the shepherd is a good man
             A7
As he tends his flock of sheep


verse 3
  D
In case you find your tortoise shell
  G       D
Is getting rather tight

You can wrap yourself in your magic cloak
  G       D
And disappear from sight
  Gm         D
And I will stand guard over you
  G          A7
As through the door you creep
G
Leave your pack at the side of the road
            D
I'll show you where to sleep
