Capo 4Intro:
G Bm C D x2
Verse 1:
Well I came alone to find a little piece of mind
Neglected all my duties stepping off that straightened line
Now I just sit at my front door filled with inner lakes and sounds
It’s like I’m watching the weeds grow on my brow
And I had pure potential and a soiled white shirt
With love enough to kill me but was unsure of its worth
And though the night is sweetened by some rising of the moon
I’ve lived enough to know the battle’s never through
Chorus:
You pass something down, no matter where or how
Well there’ll be weeds or wildflowers fixed upon your brow
And there’s a crooked burning cigarette rolling on your tongue
Will there be weeds or wildflowers when you’re done
G Bm C D x2
Verse 2:
Whenever you travel to the desert or travel to the sea
Looking out on the horizon asking what you made of me
And as we all hang around with our freedom of mind
As all of our branches entwine
And as I watch the brick erode within a day
The leaves changing colors and the barrowfuls of hay
And as a blade of sunshine cuts across my chest
The blood beneath boils with unrest
Chorus
La La La La Laaa x2
La La La La Laaa x2
Pushed around by the wind and the worthless little thing
But the world can feel the changes of a butterfly’s wings
And so that crooked burning cigarette rolling on your tongue
Will leave be tweeds before your flowers when yet have sprung
Will there be weeds or wildflowers when you’re done
