Joanna Newsom - Sprout And The Bean

it ' s a fairly complex song on harp , so here ' s a nice and easy baby version for guitar in c!

C
i slept all day
Asus2 Am
awoke with distaste
C
and i railed ,
Asus2 Am
and i raved

F
that the difference between
D7
the sprout and the bean
F
is a golden ring ,
D
it is a twisted string .
F
and you can ask the counsellor;
D7
you can ask the king;
F
and they ' ll say the same thing;
D
and it ' s a funny thing :
F
should we go outside?
D
should we go outside?
F
should we break some bread?
D
are y ' interested?

C
and as i said ,
Asus2 Am
i slept as though dead
C
dreaming seamless dreams
Asus2 Am
of lead .

F
when you go away ,
D7
i Am big – boned and fey
F
in the dust of the day ,
D
in the dirt of the day .
F
and danger! danger! drawing near them was a white coat ,
D7
and danger! danger! drawing near them was a broad boat ,
F
and the water! water! running clear beneath a white throat ,
D
and the hollow chatter of the talking of the tadpoles ,

F
who know th ' outside!
D7
should we go outside?
F
should we break some bread?
D
are y ' interested?
