How Does The Grass Grow

Intro:  A G# G F# F  

Bb                    G#         
Theres a graveyard by the station 
        F# 
Where the girls wear nylon skirts and 
Sandals from Hungary 
Bb 
The boys ride their Riga 1s 
G# 
Upon the little hill 
F# 
Such sadness and grief 
The trees die standing 
Bb 
Thats where we made our trysts 
      G# 
And struggled with our guns 
F# 
Would you still love me 
If the clocks could go backwards 
Bb 
The girls would fill with blood and 
G# 
The grass would be green again 
F# 
Remember the dead 
They were so great 
Some of them

Solo:  Bb  G#  F#   


Bb 
But I lived a blind life 
G# 
A white face in prison 
F# 
But you made a life out of nothing 
Now I ride my black horse 
Bb 
I miss you more 
G# 
Than youll ever ever know 
F# 
Waiting with my red eyes 
And my stone heart

E               G 
I gaze in defeat 
D 
At the stars in the night 
E                    G          D 
The light in my life burnt away 
G#            G    
There will be no tomorrow 
F#            F 
Then you sigh in your sleep 
A            E              D 
And meaning returns with the day
