Flowering Spade


An amazing song from one of the best folk singers of today... Originally recorded in the key of F Transposed below in the key of G Alternate back and forth on the G and E note when you are strumming that opening G chord: |----3----3-----3----3-| |----0----0-----0----0-| |----0----0-----0----0-| |----0----0-----0----0-| |----2----2-----2----2-| |-3-----0----3-----0---| G G C Em C Em He has a flowering spade growing out of his chest D full of magic and healing, G C Em C Em She is a flowering spade and she moves and she sways D you can see that she feels it. C Em C Em D She's off to dance with the goat boys, C Em C Em D He's off to sail through your wide open ocean. C Em C Em D She learned to sing from a siren, C Em C Em D He learned to swim from a drop in the water. G C Em C Em There are words, there are signs, close your eyes, there is magic D inside you. G C Em C Em Hear this box in your mind, building frames for to trace your D desires. C Em C Em D She learned to cook from a sailor, C Em C Em D He learned to cry in an elephant circus. C Em C Em D She found a recipe for flying, C Em C Em D And he's growing flowers to understand dying. G C Em C Em D Rejoice.... Hmmm..... http://www.seanhayesmusic.com/home.htm
