Текст песни Tom Waits - Green Grass

As similarly tabbed (to be read, nearly copied exactly) by bigmadhabib who really did do some great work, and
really all the leg work and deserves all the credit.

The only differences are the placement of the chords  with the lyrics.  In this song, Waits places the vowels
of his words on the chord changes.  The chord changes also drop between the lines sometimes when he is not
singing so I threw those over hanging at the ends of the lines rather than at the beginning of the lyric
where Waits would otherwise already be singing.  It feels as though it is easier to sight read if you will.

bigmadhabib says, "The chords are generally played with a bass line playing the tonic note and the note a
fourth down on 1 and 3.  The  chord is started by sliding up to the 8th fret on the  string.  Enjoy."  Upon
doing so you really get that feel that Waits, Ribot and Taylor create.  Good to note, well done bigmadhabib.

One may find this song easier to play if tuned down a half step, and then playing everything up a half step to
get an  in the common position of , and also to get the fourth down from the 's tonic, your .  Waits
does from, time to time, tune down a half step.

Great song, great fun and again, big shout-out to bigmadhabib.  I hope you don't mind my touch ups to your
tab.  You really deserve the credit.

Lay your head where my heart used to be

Hold the earth above me

Lay down in the green grass

Remember when you loved me

Come closer don't be shy

Stand beneath a rainy sky

The moon is over the rise

Think of me as a train goes by

Clear the thistles and brambles

Whistle 'Didn't He Ramble'

Now there's a bubble of me

And it's floating in thee

[Middle Section]

Stand in the shade of me

Things are now made of me

The weather vane will say...

It smells like rain today

God took the stars and he tossed 'em

Can't tell the birds from the blossoms

You'll never be free of me

He'll make a tree from me

Don't say good bye to me

Describe the sky to me

And if the sky falls, mark my words

We'll catch mocking birds

[Interlude] (With Whistling)

Lay your head where my heart used to be
Hold the earth above me
Lay down in the green grass
Remember when you loved me
