Capo 4
[Intro]
G B7 C D x2
[Verse 1]
G B7 C G
Well I came alone to find a little piece of mind
G B7 C G
Neglected all my duties stepping off that straightened line
G B7 Em A
Now I just sit at my front door filled with indolence and sounds
G D G
It's like I'm watching the weeds grow on my brow
G B7 C G
And I had pure potential and a soiled white shirt
G B7 C G
With love enough to kill me but was unsure of its worth
G B7 Em A
And though the night is sweetened by some rising of the moon
G D G
I've lived enough to know the battle's never through
[Chorus]
C G D G
You pass something down, no matter where or how
C G D
Well there'll be weeds or wildflowers affixed upon your bows
C G Em A
And there's a crooked burning cigarette rolling on your tongue
G D G
Will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done
[Instrumental]
G B7 C D x2
[Verse 2]
G B7 C D
Remember you travel to the desert or travel to the sea
G B7 C G
Looking out on the horizon asking what you mean to me
G B7 Em A
And as we all hang around with a free or toiled mind
G D G
While all of our branches entwined
G B7 C D
And as I watch the brick erode within a day
G B7 C G
The leaves change their colors and the loft fills with hay
G B7 Em A
And as a blade of sunshine cuts across my chest
G D G
The blood beneath boils with unrest
[Chorus]
C G D G
You pass something down, no matter where or how
C G D
Well there'll be weeds or wildflowers affixed upon your bows
C G Em A
And there's a crooked burning cigarette rolling on your tongue
G D G
Will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done
[Interlude]
G B7 C D
La La La La Laaa
G B7 C D
La La La La Laaa
G B7 Em C D
La La La La Laaa
G B7 Em C D
La La La La Laaa
[Chorus]
C G D G
Blown about by the wind, a worthless little thing
C G D
But the world can feel the changes of a butterfly's wings
C G Em A
And so that crooked burning cigarette rolling on your tongue
G D G
Will leave as weeds before your flowers yet have grown
G D G
Will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done
