Can I stay, here with [Dadd11/F#] you,
‘till the morning?
I am so far from home,
And I feel a little stoned.

Can I stay, here with [Dadd11/F#] you,
‘till the morning?
There’s nothing I want more,
Than to wake up on your floor.

Refrain:
Lay with me in your thinnest dress,
Fill my heart with each caress,
Between your blissful kisses whisper,
Darling is this love? [1:] [2:] (Intro) [3:] (to Coda)

Can I stay, here with [Dadd11/F#] you,
‘Till the day breaks?
There’s something you should know,
I ain’t got no place to go.

Can I stay, here with [Dadd11/F#] you,
‘Till the day breaks?
How happy it would make, me,
To see your face when I awake.

Refrain
Can I stay, here with [Dadd11/F#] you,
Through the nighttime?
I’ve fallen sad inside,
And I need a place to hide.

Can I stay, here with [Dadd11/F#] you,
Through the nighttime?
I’m all alone and blue,
Wont you take me to your room?

Refrain
Coda:
Whis- [Dadd11/F#] per to me, is this, love?
Intro (end on D not G)

Can you see the old and lonely
Walking through the park
Pushing grocery carts
Till the sun turns black

Can you see the corporate man
He’s winning on the telephone
His possessions are his throne
Till the sun turns black

Can you see him in his lounger
Watching tv in the dark
Waiting for the spark
Till the sun turns black

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooo ooh we ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooo ooh we who are we?

Can you see the working classes
Trudging through their days
Time goes slowly when you’re only waiting
Till the sun turns black

Can you see the wise man simply
Living loving quietly
Every breath he takes eternity
Till the sun turns black

#Intro

She lifts her skirt up to her knees
Walks through the garden rows with her bare feet, laughing
I never learned to count my blessings
I choose instead to dwell in my disasters

Walk on down the hill
Through the grass grown tall and brown
And still it’s hard somehow to let go of my pain
On past the busted back
Of this old and rusted Cadillac
That sinks into this field collecting rain

Will I always to feel this way
So empty, to so estranged

Of these cutthroat busted sunsets,
These cold and damp white mornings I have grown weary
If through my cracked and dusty dimestore lips
I spoke these words out loud would no one hear me

Lay your blouse across the chair
Let fall the flowers from your hair
And kiss me with that country mouth so plain
Outside the rain is tapping on the leaves
To me it sounds like they’re
applauding us, the quiet love we make

Will I alwaysto feel this way
So empty, to so estranged

Harmonica

Well I looked my demons in the eyes
Laid bare my chest said do your best and destroy me
See I’ve been to hell and back so many times
I must admit you kind of bore me

There’s a lot of things that can kill a man
There’s a lot of ways to die
Yes and some already dead who walk beside me
There’s a lot of things I don’t understand
Why so many people lie
Well it’s the hurt I hide that fuels the fires inside me

Will I always to feel this way
So empty, to so estranged

Harmonica

(Playing the G like this: ([] indicating fingering)

3 2 0 0 0 3

allows you to hammer on your index finger on the first
fret of the b string, something he does often during the song:

[G/C] 3 2 0 0 1 3
)

(C# X43X2x)

Intro: G

My eyes are dried my hands are tied
There’s nothing I can say
If you feel the need to go
I wont stand in your way
I’ll sit and cry, say goodbye
Sing this sad sad song
And you can bring me flowers when I’m dead and gone
You can bring me flowers when I’m dead, dead and gone

Well fate has played his hand so cruel
There’s nothing I can do
Say you lost your faith in me
me my trust in you
I’ll sit and think, drown and drink
Sing this sad sad song
And you can bring me flowers when I’m dead, dead and gone
And you can bring me flowers when I’m dead, dead and gone

When I’m dead and gone
The pain won’t linger on
It’ll settle in my bones, stab my mind?
When I’m dead and gone

There’ll be no one to curse me
C# D
To hurt me like you’ve done a thousand times

Now when you’re lying in his arms
Think of me and know
The choice you made ain’t feelin clearer
It cost me a heavy toll
I’ll sit and cry, say goodbye
Sing this sad sad song

You can bring me flowers when I’m dead, dead and gone
And you can bring me flowers
You can bring me flowers
You can bring me flowers
When I’m dead and gone

Shuckin the corn shuckin the corn
You ain?t done a thing since the day you were born
You just lay around the shade allday
Shuckin the corn

Talkin? down your fellow man,
Ain?t no way to fill your fryin pan.
You ought to shut your mouth
Instead of shuckin corn

How you gonna get down to Georgia?
How you gonna get down to Georgia?
Them box cars are full of rock coal son,
The box cars are full of rock coal

Who?s gonna meet you at the station?
Tell me who?s gonna meet you at the station?
My baby and a bottle of wine, Joe.
My baby and a bottle of wine

Shuckin? the corn shuckin? the corn
You ain?t done a thing since the day you were born
You just lay around the shade all day
Shuckin? the corn

Talkin? down your fellow man
Ain?t no way to fill your fryin pan.
You ought to shut your mouth son
Instead of shuckin corn

Now how you make the boss man smile child
How you make the boss man smile
Lay another bushel on the pile son
Lay another bushel on the pile

Now how you make the boss man cross now?
How you make the boss man cross?
Shuck another bushel on the ground boy.
Just shuck another bushel on the ground

Shuckin? the corn shuckin? the corn
You ain?t done a thing since the day you were born,
You just lay around the shade all day,
Shuckin? thecorn

Aww were talkin bout gossip now children

Talkin? down your fellow man,
Ain?t no way to fill your fryin pan.
You ought to shut your mouth son
Instead of shuckincornalright

Now don?t you give me no wedding ring boy
Don?t you give me no wedding ring
It?s heavy like a ball and chain man
It?s heavy like a ball and chain

This is what he told me he said
Don?t you give me no wedding ring baby
Don?t you give me no wedding ring
Aww they say it?s heavy like a ball and chain son
It?s heavy like a ball and chain

Shuckin the corn shuckin the corn
You ain?t done a thing since the day you were born
You just lay around the shade all day
Shuckin? the corn

Talkin? down your fellow man
Ain?t no way to fill your fryin pan
You ought to shut your mouth man
Instead of shuckin that corn
Just a shuckin that corn
Just ashuckin that corn
You?ve gotta shut your mouth
Awww yeah

OK so Idunno, I think it’s close enough
The G’s may be G7th’s, but I’m tired of making that listening hard face, and I don’t
if it’s 7 & or not anymore
This is just the way I think Raymond is playing it…there are plenty of other ways to
it…
You can play F7 like this (131211)and G7(320001)
Or u could play it in B in standard tuning
