These Golden Jewels
From the album Last Days of Wonder
[INTRO]
E7 A7 D5 A5 F#5 D5
Am
[VERSE 1]
Am
I left a black shoe hanging from a telephone wire
Dm Am
I threw hubcaps in the bushes
B7 E7
Filled the creek with burning tires
[VERSE 2]
Am
I drove circles in the meadow
Dm Am
threw TVs off a cliff
B7 E7 A7 D7
I scattered dirty needles in a grassy ditch
D5 A5 F#5 D5
[PRE-CHORUS]
D
Shopping carts of garbage
C#7
overturned in silver ponds
F#7
in fields of wild mustard
D7 A7
I abandoned several cars
[CHORUS]
C#7
At the edge of town, these golden jewels
D7 E7 A7
I left them all for you
D5 A5 F#5 D5
[BRIDGE]
Dm
You, hiding in the falling leaves
Gm
and the spider's dew-dropped ring
A7
You, lying in the muddy river
Dm A7
with ten thousand wild wings
[PRE-CHORUS]
D
I will set the world on fire
C#7
pluck the stars down from the sky
F#7
if you will spend with me, my dear
D7 A7
a single summer night
[CHORUS]
C#7
At the edge of town, my golden jewel
D7 E7 A7
I'm waiting here for you
D5 A5 F#5 D5
