Folk Insomnia Chords

Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

C D G C

CThere's rumbling in the hDead again

GInside the head there liCved a brain

CInside the brain there liDved a dream

 That sGhot round like a laCser beam

CAlong nerve endings aDnd synapses

GPast the room for meCmory lapses

CBought about by Dalcohol

 That cGauses all the cCell collapses

C D G C

CNow, that dream's not the Donly one

 I had Gplenty more when CI was young

CBut I grew up in Da big hurry

 And tGhen one day I stCart to worry that

 I'm gonna Dbe a goner beforGe I read all the boCoks I wanna

CIf I plant a tree now it'll Dbe fully grown

 Long aGfter I'm just dCust and bone and

CNow I caDn't sleep, it'sC already 3G AM

 And Im Clying here diDviding sheep by Gthe square root of Cten

C D G C

CSo I gave away my cDlothes to charity

 I tuGrned off my TCV for clarity

CAnd somedays I still Denvy those

 WalkGing around wearCing my clothes

 So I'll just pGlant a tree I'll nDever see gCrow

 Put a Gseed in the ground where Dno one'll knCow

 Gonna mGake my plan when the mDorning bCreaks

 But I jGust don't know how lDong it'll tCake

C D G C

CI keep hearing voices and riDnging phones

 But Im staGring down a highway alCl alone

CWith just the company of my sDtomach rumble

 And I fGeel OK, it mCakes me humble

CWithout a load that DI must carry

 Or a bGump in the road to mCake to tarry

C D G

 Just a pCile of ashes from the miles I've burned and everything Ive learned

CWhat have I learned?

 Don't walk in fCront of cars or beDhind horses

 Cats dGon't drink milk out of fClying saucers

CGreen means go

DYellow: go faster

GRed means stop or Cfinancial disaster

CAnd don't ever undereDstimate the fitness of a dGetermined JCehovahs witness

CAnd don't ever ever tDake for granted what gGrew from every kCiss you planted

CIf a heart can break then a Dheart can feel

 It's toG know that you're aClive and real

CLike the rattlin, bouncin liDttle white ball

 Not a nGumber on a Croulette wheel

CAnd hair it tDurns grey and sCkin it turns to lGeather

 But the bCest thing about Dgrowing old is we Gall do it tCogether

 So I'll just pGlant a tree I'll nDever see gCrow

 Put a Gseed in the ground where Dno one'll knCow

 Gonna mGake my plan when the mDorning bCreaks

 But I jGust don't know how lDong it'll tCake

C D G C

CThey say that a love that's shared is a Dlove that's carried

 All the Gway to the church where yCou'll be married

C D G

 And it's aC long old way down the aisle to alter and you don't have the time to falter

CLove will always cDome and go I hope

 But soGmetimes love goes Cup in smoke

CAnd you're left there with the gDreedy ghost

 And jGust when you nCeed them most

CSome of your friends have dDisappeared

 And oGthers started acCting weird

 And you’re lCeft on your bed with an aDwful feeling

 Till you've leGarned by heart all the crCacks in the ceiling

C D G

 AnCd you think Oh god I just related to that awful love song I always hated

CAnd the past it all bDecomes distorted like Git was broke befoCre you bought it

CRemember, you're the Done who paid

 Pulled the Gpin out of the Chand grenade

CIt's up to you to lDeave your room

 But dGon't forget to Cbring your spade

 So you can Gplant a tree you'll Dnever see Cgrow

 Put a Gseed in the ground where Dno one'll Cknow

 Gonna Gmake my plan fDorever to rCoam

 Gonna Gfeed my nan in the nDursing Chome

 Gonna Gmake that plan when the mDorning bCreaks

 But I Gjust don't know how Dlong It'll tCake

C D G C D C
