(picking only)

G         
Echoes down water wells

D
Picked up in sacred spirographs

C                                       D  G  D/F#  Em
Weekend and winter's unendable bendable ba-by

        VERSE

(strumming)

     G
They buried him next to his first wife

    D
His widow watched from under a visor

C                                                  D  G    D/F#  Em                          
Daughter tried to keep her out of the sun that was blazing

D/F#  G  Em  D/F#
Oh, oh


        CHORUS

G                 D
Then the sun went down
     
        C               D
And she went to sleep

G                   D
She lays her burden down

          C              D 
She don't need to sleep

G  D  C  D  (repeat x 2)



        VERSE

G
When they were done they went back home

     D 
To a house he built with opposable thumbs

    C                  D   G   D/F#  Em
When they were so much younger

D/F#  G  Em  D/F#
Oh, oh

G
Five years later she died in her house

D
All the breath that blows all the dust around

C               D   G   D/F#  Em
It just keeps on sifting

D/F#  G  Em  D/F#
Oh, oh


        CHORUS

G                 D
Then the sun went down
     
        C               D
And she went to sleep

G                   D
She lays her burden down

          C             D 
She don't need to sleep, oh no

G  D  C  D  (repeat x 3)
