IntroCFAmGVerseCF
Dreamless sleep will fall
AmG
Like a deep, poisoned well
CF
On the steeple birds
AmG
And this red-light hotel
ChorusFCF
So lay your pistol down, Granny
AmG
The company men never came to you
FCF
But don't unknit your brow, Granny
AmG
The mice in the yard ate the potted plants you grew
InstrumentalCFAmGVerseCF
Pour your bitter tea
AmG
For our sweet, liquored host
CF
Perfect polished stones
AmG
But this breeze beats you both
ChorusFCF
So lay your pistol down, Granny
AmG
The duty of men never fell to you
FCF
When you unknit your brow, Granny
AmG
Your friends, they are jewels, twice as beautiful and few
