about

Guitar Capo 3rd Fret (Ukulele no capo)

Em(Gm) D(F)
Sunday night at nine you came to our houses to visit.
G (Bb) D(F) Em (Gm)
We were kids and you were like our most interesting relative,
Em(Gm) C(D#) G(Bb)
with all your wild theories and your wilder truths.
G(Bb) D(F)
We grew up wanting to be like you;
Em(Gm) C(D#) G(Bb)
questionable, contentious, but pure of heart.
C(D#) G(Bb)
It’s too bad that things can’t end the way they start.

You distrusted enforcers and power without proof
You bore up the misused and those hopeless who spoke sooth.
Your search for strange stories once led you to the stars
but now you dig for plain bones in your own backyard.
Your sympathy is turned to the old men who abuse
you’re set against the furious people who they use.

So was it fear of a fight or greed for scant gold
that made you less radical as you grew old?
Maybe you grew tired holding knowledge of the world’s end,
dropped perspective in pursuit of a solvable problem.
We were so disappointed but we were hardly shocked;
you weren’t the first to be bitten by a rabid fox.

Em(Gm) C(D#) G(Bb)
There’s no changing the dead, but I want to believe
D(F) Em(Gm)
that our fates might be different than yours came to be.

They thought: "We both play the same instruments. Let's start a band." So Emily and Jade became The Leafy Greens, a ukulele-bearing, folk-rock duo based in St. Catharines. Stay tuned; we are currently working on new songs for you!
