Fmaj7|Em Fmaj7 Now there's a Hillydale here and a Lilydale there Em Fmaj7 where there's joy in the living, in voices that ring in the air Em C I'd stay there but sooner or later I'd have to go, Em where I don't know, F G but when a dog knows it's on him he doesn't ask why he just goes, Em F And when I go my bones will know, to pick up and follow the wagon that rolls G on the cold acre... C My heart is a cold acre, Em in my chest is a cold acre, F I don't grow any good anymore though G I've seeded my soul with all kinds of love, that it aches so... Fmaj7-Em (repeat x2) SOLO C-Em-F-G-Em-F--G- Fmaj7 Em Though I wake from them mouthing they leave me not able to talk, Fmaj7 Em These dreams are not nightmares but realms I've been choosing to walk, C Em With my little bag, and with my little dog, F G Who rests on my stomach and barks at the oncoming fog, Em F O but when I go, with my lot in tow, Like a vampire carry my piece of the earth G from the place of my death to the plots of my birth... C My heart is a cold acre, Em in my chest is a cold acre, F I don't grow any good anymore though G I've seeded my soul with all kinds of love C that don't grow in a cold acre, Em nothing grows in a cold acre, F G I don't know any good anymore from the bad except there's one that you have and one that you had, Em F O grow, grow, grow, grow, grow, G And plant me in the only place I know, That's the Cold Acre.
