Bm D7sus4
I had a lover, name was Grace
E7 D7sus4
She found me down in a lonely place
Bm D7sus4
She dug me out with an old jar bow
E7 D7sus4
She dressed me up for to take me home
Bm D7sus4
She fed me words that I could not taste
E7 D7sus4
For I had no tongue, it had been replaced
Bm D7sus4
By a green and a-growin' flower which grew
E7 D7sus4 Bm
And I knew if I ever spoke I would speak true

Bm D7sus4
We lived together in an old hotel
E7 D7sus4
Broke-down palace with a wishing well
Bm D7sus4
The neighbour girl taught me how to spell
E7 D7sus4
And how to steal what I could not sell
Bm D7sus4
But I fed my tongue on the devil's rum
E7 D7sus4
And a roadhouse run by a godless bum
Bm D7sus4
On a drunken night with a stolen gun
E7 D7sus4
I shot my lover as she made to run
F#m7 B9
The judge said "Son, what have you done?"
F#m7 B9
But I didn't speak a word, no I didn't speak one
D A E
And the judge sent me away
D A D7sus4 Bm
And they buried my Grace, yeah, the very next day

Bm D7sus4
They sent me out on a midnight train
E7 D7sus4
In the rain rollin' down through the dusty plain
Bm D7sus4
4 men sittin' with an old shotgun
E7 D7sus4
silver stars pinned on everyone
Bm D7sus4
They busted my mouth for to get at my tongue
E7 D7sus4
To see just how this had all begun
F#m7 B9
So I opened my mouth like a dragon's breath
F#m7 B9
I only spoke truth, but it only brought death
D A E
And I laid those boys to rest
D A D7sus4 Bm
For the truth in truth is a terrible jest

E7sus4 D7 D7sus4

F#m7 B9
For there ain't no road but the road to home
F#m7 B9
There ain't no crops but the one's you've sown
D A E
And if you learn one thing from me
D A D7sus4 Bm
You better guard your tongue like your enemy

E7sus4 D7 D7sus4

Bm D7sus4
I came to ground in a one horse town
E7 D7sus4
On the western rim where the sun go down
Bm D7sus4
Where a branded man might start again
E7 D7sus4
For to ride his rung, for to lose his sin
Bm D7sus4
But my tongue kept growing, it would not cease
E7 D7sus4
I grew quite weary, couldn't get no release
F#m7 B9
So I went to the magistrate and turned myself in
F#m7 B9
Picked up a shovel and he made the grin
D A E
And they planted me by the sea
D A D7sus4 Bm
Now the birds of the air make nests on me
