Song: How To Grow A Woman From The Ground Artist: Chris Thile Album: How To Grow A Woman From The Ground Tabbed by: b561248 My only note is that on the bridge ("I'll take you into town...") you should walk the bass up E-F#-G#-A and then A-B-C#-D. Enjoy. Intro: F#m7 Bm7 E C#7 F#m7 Bm7 Ab7 C#7 F#m7 Bm7 E C#7 A C#7 Dmaj7 I caught a string full of fish down by the dam F#m7 Bm7 E C#7 I'll drag them back to the field they should be dead by then F#m7 Bm7 Ab7 C#7 Wipe the sweat off my neck and tally ho the plow F#m7 Bm7 E C#7 I'm gonna grow a woman from the ground A C#7 Dmaj7 The night was a chalkboard with a fingernail moon If the fish ain't dead yet they will be pretty soon Kinda like the feeling at an old folks home Even though you love them you can't wait for them to go I'll call her Angelina she's a teacher I once had A halo of honey wrapped around her head And she always used to give me some when I was a kid I told her that I loved her and then I went and hid I'll take you into town and I'll show you off E A Dmaj7 And there's room on your dress for a corsage E A Dmaj7 And I'll open up every door for you E A Dmaj7 Ooo... F#m7 A Dmaj7 Ooo... E A Dmaj7 I opened up my almanac and in my head I read Cut your wrist on the fins of the fish and drain all you can So I rolled up my sleeves and then began to draw lines just as deep as the days are long I sewed up my wrist and sewed the ground with my blood Staind up my clothes pretty good and I turned that dirt to mud I couldn't help but close my eyes and lay my body down 'Cause I heard it takes forever to grow a woman from the ground I bleed for you now and I'm skinny as a rail And I'll be so obliged to keep you nice and warm and safe and won't you be so proud of me -------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Thile is a mandolin virtuoso, singer, and songwriter/composer.
