Capo: 1
By Colter James Neeley
Huntsville, AL
Capo on the 1st fret
I Dwonder if this blade ran tChrough someone's side
Am FaddG
The blood wiped away to hide
C FaddG C FaddG C
How evil you grandfather was 'fore he died
But wDar can make monsters oCut of us alDl
Am FaddG C
I'm sure I'd become one if I was called
And tDhen it would Ambe my blDade
Here at thisCmaj7 yardsDale
The guitar I am holding is way out of tune
The neck it is warped and the saddle is through
I wonder if sweet music ever was played
From the hands of a boy to a girl in the shade
From this rickety ghost of a song
Here at this yardsale
A dollar for anything here on this quilt
A price tag for hands from which all things are built
A blanket of voices speak pleasure in shame
Flowers of plastic and fruit of the same
A basket of nothing at all
Here at this yardsale
So if I had the money I'd buy everything
And cover the whole lot with good gasoline
And burn it for all that I care for the past
And rid mother earth of what never should last
And give her the present of ash
Made of a yardsale
