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

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

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

G#7sus4 D7 D7sus4

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

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