[Verse 1]
 
                        Fm
  Lay your head where my heart used to be
  G                Cm
  Hold the earth above  me
  Ab
  Lay down in the green grass
  G                  Cm         Cm
  Remember when you loved me
                Fm
  Come closer don't be shy
  G                      Cm
  Stand beneath a rainy  sky
  Ab
  The moon is over the rise
  G                 Cm
  Think of me as a  train goes by
                Fm
  Clear the thistles and brambles
  G               Cm
  Whistle 'Didn't He Ramble'
  Ab
  Now there's a bubble of me
  G             Cm
  And it's floating in thee
  Fm            Bb
  Stand in the  shade of me
  Eb
  Things are now made of me
  Ab
  The weather vane will say...
  G
  It smells like rain today
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
                             Fm
  God took the stars and he  tossed 'em
  G                              Cm
  Can't tell the birds from the blossoms
  Ab
  You'll never be free of me
  G             Cm
  He'll make a  tree from me
                 Fm
  Don't say good bye to me
  G             Cm
  Describe the  sky to me
  Ab                    G
  And if the sky falls, mark my words
  Cm
  We'll catch mocking birds
 
 
[Interlude] (with whistling)
 
G Cm
 
 
[Last Verse]
 
                         Fm
  Lay your head where my  heart used to be
  G               Cm
  Hold the earth above me
  Ab
  Lay down in the green grass
  G                 Cm          Cm
  Remember when you loved me
