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

Fm D7sus4
We lived together in an old hotel
A#7 D7sus4
Broke-down palace with a wishing well
Fm D7sus4
The neighbour girl taught me how to spell
A#7 D7sus4
And how to steal what I could not sell
Fm D7sus4
But I fed my tongue on the devil's rum
A#7 D7sus4
And a roadhouse run by a godless bum
Fm D7sus4
On a drunken night with a stolen gun
A#7 D7sus4
I shot my lover as she made to run

The judge said "Son, what have you done?"
Cm7 F9
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 Fm
And they buried my Grace, yeah, the very next day

Fm D7sus4
They sent me out on a midnight train
A#7 D7sus4
In the rain rollin' down through the dusty plain
Fm D7sus4
4 men sittin' with an old shotgun
A#7 D7sus4
silver stars pinned on everyone
Fm D7sus4
They busted my mouth for to get at my tongue
A#7 D7sus4
To see just how this had all begun
Cm7 F9
So I opened my mouth like a dragon's breath
Cm7 F9
I only spoke truth, but it only brought death
G# D# A#
And I laid those boys to rest
G# D# D7sus4 Fm
For the truth in truth is a terrible jest

A#7sus4 D7 D7sus4

Cm7 F9
For there ain't no road but the road to home
Cm7 F9
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 Fm
You better guard your tongue like your enemy

Fm D7sus4
I came to ground in a one horse town
A#7 D7sus4
On the western rim where the sun go down
Fm D7sus4
Where a branded man might start again
A#7 D7sus4
For to ride his rung, for to lose his sin
Fm D7sus4
But my tongue kept growing, it would not cease
A#7 D7sus4
I grew quite weary, couldn't get no release
Cm7 F9
So I went to the magistrate and turned myself in
Cm7 F9
Picked up a shovel and he made the grin
G# D# A#
And they planted me by the sea
G# D# D7sus4 Fm
Now the birds of the air make nests on me
