And the rose was exalted
Ab

Eb
Eb
in the palm of her hand
Ab
Ab
Db
Db
Along with her fist
Ab
Ab
Eb
Eb
Ab
Ab
and the beer in her can
Db
Db
As she barnstormed outside
Ab
Ab
Eb
Eb
like a witch on a broom
Db

And shot a polished middle finger
Eb

to that man in the moon

With a pine -paneled wall

Got a man out there somewhere

She told the bartender
Ab
Ab
Eb

as he was wiping his brow
Ab
Ab
Db
Db
He was honest and simple

at least that's how he appeared

And he was pretty good
Ab
Ab
Eb
Eb
Ab
Ab
looking for a guy around here
Db
Db
But God, did he scare me
Ab

when he closed up inside
Ab
Ab
Db

And would sit there for hours

Eb
Eb
Ab
Ab
like his whole world had died
Db

Cm

Silent and breathless
Eb
Eb
Ab
Ab
like he'd punctured his lungs
Db
Db
Ab
Ab
Till his mouth became his quiver
Eb
Eb
and his sword became his tongue
Ab
Ab
Db
Db
And then I became his target
Ab
Ab
Db
Db
Ab
Ab
Cause his anger wouldn't melt,
no poem ever written
Eb

can describe how that felt
Db

Singing highs to the angels
Eb

and lows to the hawk

down his fist with a shout

And said, I'll have one with you,

Ab

you're wearin' me out
Db

As a smile leaked out
Ab

Eb
Eb
of one silver -capped tooth
Ab
Ab
Db
Db
He said, I'm not too busy,
Ab
Ab
Eb
Eb
Ab
Ab
let's sit down in this booth
Db
Db
As a warm wind blew in
Ab
Ab
Eb
Eb
like a sweet baby's breath
Ab
Ab
Db

Then an angel appeared
Ab

and took one look and left.

and left it in the yard.

And I despise what he's doing,
