A#m D7sus4
I had a lover, name was Grace
D#7 D7sus4
She found me down in a lonely place
A#m D7sus4
She dug me out with an old jar bow
D#7 D7sus4
She dressed me up for to take me home
A#m D7sus4
She fed me words that I could not taste
D#7 D7sus4
For I had no tongue, it had been replaced
A#m D7sus4
By a green and a-growin' flower which grew
D#7 D7sus4 A#m
And I knew if I ever spoke I would speak true

A#m D7sus4
We lived together in an old hotel
D#7 D7sus4
Broke-down palace with a wishing well
A#m D7sus4
The neighbour girl taught me how to spell
D#7 D7sus4
And how to steal what I could not sell
A#m D7sus4
But I fed my tongue on the devil's rum
D#7 D7sus4
And a roadhouse run by a godless bum
A#m D7sus4
On a drunken night with a stolen gun
D#7 D7sus4
I shot my lover as she made to run
Fm7 A#9
The judge said "Son, what have you done?"
Fm7 A#9
But I didn't speak a word, no I didn't speak one
C# G# D#
And the judge sent me away
C# G# D7sus4 A#m
And they buried my Grace, yeah, the very next day

A#m D7sus4
They sent me out on a midnight train
D#7 D7sus4
In the rain rollin' down through the dusty plain
A#m D7sus4
4 men sittin' with an old shotgun
D#7 D7sus4
silver stars pinned on everyone
A#m D7sus4
They busted my mouth for to get at my tongue
D#7 D7sus4
To see just how this had all begun
Fm7 A#9
So I opened my mouth like a dragon's breath
Fm7 A#9
I only spoke truth, but it only brought death
C# G# D#
And I laid those boys to rest
C# G# D7sus4 A#m
For the truth in truth is a terrible jest

D#7sus4 D7 D7sus4

Fm7 A#9
For there ain't no road but the road to home
Fm7 A#9
There ain't no crops but the one's you've sown
C# G# D#
And if you learn one thing from me
C# G# D7sus4 A#m
You better guard your tongue like your enemy

A#m D7sus4
I came to ground in a one horse town
D#7 D7sus4
On the western rim where the sun go down
A#m D7sus4
Where a branded man might start again
D#7 D7sus4
For to ride his rung, for to lose his sin
A#m D7sus4
But my tongue kept growing, it would not cease
D#7 D7sus4
I grew quite weary, couldn't get no release
Fm7 A#9
So I went to the magistrate and turned myself in
Fm7 A#9
Picked up a shovel and he made the grin
C# G# D#
And they planted me by the sea
C# G# D7sus4 A#m
Now the birds of the air make nests on me
