capo: 1st fret

[intro]

G Em C
It’s spring and the cherry blossoms sprout
G Bm
The legs are out, and the bronzed chests
Em C
And fires bejewelling the south west
G
Thank you, darling
Em C G
For these silver gelatine echoes of me
Bm
With you
Em C
Smiling like he has to for the cause
Am Bm G
For the tribe, for the boys, for the lie

[verse (1)]

C Em
Nobody heard me crying in my sleep
Bm
Me and the men of the frontier stack
C G
The bodies in a heap
Bm
Jimmy grabs a beer and we wash our
C Em
Hands in the – creek
Bm C G
Ooh – talk is cheap
Bm C Em
frangipanis growing back home
Bm C G
shading the bottle ‘o line
Bm C Em
once we were dreaming of pearls
Bm C G
now me and my sons all dream of iron

[chorus]

G Bm Em
Daisy, baby are you driving home
Bm C G
’cause this baby doesn’t want to walk alone
Bm C Em
She said – ‘ooh’ as she grabbed my tongue
G Bm
sometimes you gotta rock the cradle
C G
Baby, on your own

[verse (2)]

C Em
Is that boogoo with the big chain
Bm C G
is that annie with the white dress?
Bm C Em
is that granny with the white man
Bm C G
With the no name and the no stress?
Bm
What about the empire
C Em
What about the cross?
D
What about the halos
C Bm Em G
Are the angels inside with the x–box?
Bm C Em
Ooh – that’s a dollar for any can
Bm
And on thursdays
C G
I’ll be heading back to see my man

[chorus]

G Bm Em
Daisy, baby are you driving home
Bm C G
’cause this baby doesn’t want to walk alone
Bm C Em
She said – ‘ooh’ as she grabbed my tongue

sometimes you gotta rock the cradle
C G
Baby, on your own

Damn it’s cool on the bathroom floor

Daisy doesn’t have a babe no more
