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

G#m D7sus4
We lived together in an old hotel
C#7 D7sus4
Broke-down palace with a wishing well
G#m D7sus4
The neighbour girl taught me how to spell
C#7 D7sus4
And how to steal what I could not sell
G#m D7sus4
But I fed my tongue on the devil's rum
C#7 D7sus4
And a roadhouse run by a godless bum
G#m D7sus4
On a drunken night with a stolen gun
C#7 D7sus4
I shot my lover as she made to run
D#m7 G#9
The judge said "Son, what have you done?"
D#m7 G#9
But I didn't speak a word, no I didn't speak one
B F# C#
And the judge sent me away
B F# D7sus4 G#m
And they buried my Grace, yeah, the very next day

G#m D7sus4
They sent me out on a midnight train
C#7 D7sus4
In the rain rollin' down through the dusty plain
G#m D7sus4
4 men sittin' with an old shotgun
C#7 D7sus4
silver stars pinned on everyone
G#m D7sus4
They busted my mouth for to get at my tongue
C#7 D7sus4
To see just how this had all begun
D#m7 G#9
So I opened my mouth like a dragon's breath
D#m7 G#9
I only spoke truth, but it only brought death
B F# C#
And I laid those boys to rest
B F# D7sus4 G#m
For the truth in truth is a terrible jest
---
C#7sus4 D7 D7sus4

D#m7 G#9
For there ain't no road but the road to home
D#m7 G#9
There ain't no crops but the one's you've sown
B F# C#
And if you learn one thing from me
B F# D7sus4 G#m
You better guard your tongue like your enemy

C#7sus4 D7 D7sus4

G#m D7sus4
I came to ground in a one horse town
C#7 D7sus4
On the western rim where the sun go down
G#m D7sus4
Where a branded man might start again
C#7 D7sus4
For to ride his rung, for to lose his sin
G#m D7sus4
But my tongue kept growing, it would not cease
C#7 D7sus4
I grew quite weary, couldn't get no release
D#m7 G#9
So I went to the magistrate and turned myself in
D#m7 G#9
Picked up a shovel and he made the grin
B F# C#
And they planted me by the sea
B F# D7sus4 G#m
Now the birds of the air make nests on me
