[Verse 1]
seeds came in the mail [G]from
holland
[Em]and [G]the language[D] on the
package is wonderful [G]and strange
all sorts of flowers that grow
up from [Em]the [G]earth[D]
and goodly colors [C]gloriously arranged
[G]i c[C]ircled the [G]house
[D]and i scattered them around
let the [G]water ink down into [C]the soil
stared a long [G]time at the [D]residue[G]
blood, milk and [C]oil[Am]
god the humid[G]ity [D]is something[G]
our shirts are soaked clean
[C]thr[Am]ough
the house is throb[G]bing and the
[D]heat keeps [G]coming
and i [D]keep looking [G]at [C]you[G]

[Verse 2]
and then you're singing in dutch [G]to me[D]
and i recognize the [G]song[C][G]

and i haven't heard it in so [G]long[C]
we may throw the windows [D]open later
we are [G]not as far west as
[C]you uppose we are
hot wind coming [G]off the [D]wa ter
[G]the sky[Gm] gone cra[G]zy
[C]with stars[Am]
while we stay here we ima[D]gine
[G]we're alive
we see shadows on [D]the [C]walls
[Am]there's something waiting for [G]us in the hot,[D]
wet [G]air
blod, water and alco[B]hol
[C]jut [G]the old blood
rising [D]up through the wooden floor again
just the old [G]love
