Cold Ground (Tom Waits)

C                           Am
Crest fallen sidekick in an old cafe
        C                           Am
Never slept with a dream before he had to go away
           C                       Am
There's a bell in the tower Uncle ray bought a round
       F                         G
Don't worry when you lay in the cold,

                   C
   The cold cold ground
           Am
   In the cold cold ground
               C
   Cold cold ground
           Am
   In the cold cold ground

Now don't be a cry baby when there's wood in the shed
There's a bird in the chimmney and a stone in my bed
When the road's washed out they pass the bottle around
And wait in the arms of the

   Cold cold ground
   In the cold cold ground
   The cold cold ground
   In the cold cold ground

There's a ribbon in the willow and a tire swing rope
And a briar patch of berries takin over the slope
The cat'll sleep in the mailbox and we'll never go to town
Til we bury every dream in the cold

   Cold ground
   In the cold cold ground
   Cold cold ground
   In the cold cold ground

Crest fallen sidekick in an old cafe
Never slept with a dream before he had to go away
There's a bell in the tower Uncle ray bought a round
Don't worry when you lay in the cold,

   The cold cold ground
   In the cold cold ground
   Cold cold ground
   In the cold cold ground
