Em D7sus4
I had a lover, name was Grace
A7 D7sus4
She found me down in a lonely place
Em D7sus4
She dug me out with an old jar bow
A7 D7sus4
She dressed me up for to take me home
Em D7sus4
She fed me words that I could not taste
A7 D7sus4
For I had no tongue, it had been replaced
Em D7sus4
By a green and a-growin' flower which grew
A7 D7sus4 Em
And I knew if I ever spoke I would speak true

Em D7sus4
We lived together in an old hotel
A7 D7sus4
Broke-down palace with a wishing well
Em D7sus4
The neighbour girl taught me how to spell
A7 D7sus4
And how to steal what I could not sell
Em D7sus4
But I fed my tongue on the devil's rum
A7 D7sus4
And a roadhouse run by a godless bum
Em D7sus4
On a drunken night with a stolen gun
A7 D7sus4
I shot my lover as she made to run
Bm7 E9
The judge said "Son, what have you done?"
Bm7 E9
But I didn't speak a word, no I didn't speak one
G D A
And the judge sent me away
G D D7sus4 Em
And they buried my Grace, yeah, the very next day

Em D7sus4
They sent me out on a midnight train
A7 D7sus4
In the rain rollin' down through the dusty plain
Em D7sus4
4 men sittin' with an old shotgun
A7 D7sus4
silver stars pinned on everyone
Em D7sus4
They busted my mouth for to get at my tongue
A7 D7sus4
To see just how this had all begun
Bm7 E9
So I opened my mouth like a dragon's breath
Bm7 E9
I only spoke truth, but it only brought death
G D A
And I laid those boys to rest
G D D7sus4 Em
For the truth in truth is a terrible jest

A7sus4 D7 D7sus4

Bm7 E9
For there ain't no road but the road to home
Bm7 E9
There ain't no crops but the one's you've sown
G D A
And if you learn one thing from me
G D D7sus4 Em
You better guard your tongue like your enemy

A7sus4 D7 D7sus4

Em D7sus4
I came to ground in a one horse town
A7 D7sus4
On the western rim where the sun go down
Em D7sus4
Where a branded man might start again
A7 D7sus4
For to ride his rung, for to lose his sin
Em D7sus4
But my tongue kept growing, it would not cease
A7 D7sus4
I grew quite weary, couldn't get no release
Bm7 E9
So I went to the magistrate and turned myself in
Bm7 E9
Picked up a shovel and he made the grin
G D A
And they planted me by the sea
G D D7sus4 Em
Now the birds of the air make nests on me
