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
