Del Water Gap - In the yard
Tuning: Standard
Capo: 2nd fret
[Verse 1]
G
I met two girls in Boulder, we were standing in the cold
Cadd9
I said, “There’s only room for one of you to live inside my home.” But
Am G
this, this is not my home
G
The first one took my mind away, the second took my name, Oh yeah,
Cadd9
she writes me lovers every day but I need her all the same I need her
Am G
all the same.I need her all the same
[Chorus 1]
G
But you’re my leech
C
I hope you never leave me
A7 Cadd9 G
You could live inside my heart, killing people just to eat, you’re mine
Cadd9
And if you ever grow old,
A7 Cadd9 G
will hold you in my hands and tell you just how beautiful you are
[Verse 2]
G
When all the old folks went to bed, the gardener was spent And the
Cadd9 Am G
children playing quietly, I lost my only friend And you held my head
G
The wind it whipped the trees around, it was snowing in the yard So
Cadd9
you ripped a piece right off your shirt and tied it round my arm And
Am G
said,“I’ll keep you warm.”
[Gap]
[Chorus 2]
G
Yeah you’re my leech
Cadd9
I hope you never leave me
A7 Cadd9 G
You could live inside my heart, killing people just to eat, you’re mine
Cadd9
And if you ever grow old,
A7 Cadd9 G
I will hold you in my hands and tell you just how beautiful you are
[Chorus 3]
Cadd9
I hope you never leave me
A7 Cadd9 G
You could live inside my heart, killing people just to eat, you’re mine
Cadd9
And if you ever grow old,
A7 Cadd9 G
I will hold you in these hands and tell you just how beautiful you are.
