verse 1: 
G 
I can still see you there 
          C                 G   G/F# 
In your grass-stained underwear 
 Em              G  
Dancing crooked circles 
  Am                    C       D 
Across the golf course green 

G 
It must have been 3 a.m. 
        C                       G    G/F# 
When we hopped that chain link fence 
Em                  G 
And ran across the grass 
                D  Dsus4 D 
In the pouring rain 

G 
Oh and you kept falling down 
     C               G    G/F# 
and rolling on the ground 
        Em              G 
like a drunken little bird 
Am              C    D     G G A B - single notes on 6th and 5th strings as in the intro

C G Bm C Flapping your broken wings, flapping your broken wings C Em C Dsus4 D G G/F# flapping your broken wings in the green, green grass
Bridge: Em As if pilgrims with axes C had never seen the devil dancing C#/A7 X4202X in the silent branches C of thousand year old trees Em As they sailed up the wild coast C leaning from their wooden boats C#/A7 shooting every pretty bird C that rose up from the weeds G F# Em C C#/A7 C G Intro: G C G Bm C Em C Dsus4 D G |---------------3----------------------------------------------3-2------7---7h8p7---- |-----------/5----5p3----------------------------------------3----------8---8-----8-- |---------------------/4-4-4p2----2-0----------------------2------------7---7-------7 |-------------------------------------4-2----------------0--------------------------- |---0-2-3---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |-3---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- verse 2: G When the sun began to rise C G G/F# I could see it in your eyes Em G and shining on the golf balls Am C D lying in the grass G And a rusted chain link fence C G G/F# a golf cart in a ditch Em and the colored flags G D Dsus4 D you pulled from all the holes G Like jewels on your green dress C G G/F# my lady of the golf course Em G running in your underwear Am C D G G A B to greet the cops who'd driven up
