[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
GI wonder if this blade ever ran Cthrough someone's Gside
AmThe blood wiped away to Chide
CHow evil you grandfather was 'fore he Gdied
GBut war can make monsters Cout of us Gall
AmI'm sure I'd become one Cif I was called
GAnd then it would Cbe my D7blade
Here at this CyardGsale
[Verse 2]
(repeat verse 1 chords)
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
[Verse 3]
(repeat verse 1 chords)
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
[Verse 4]
(repeat verse 1 chords)
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
