Brass Band

C              G         D       Am
I wish I could cut back safe and sound
C              G         D       Am
Maybe I would kick back, hang around
C              G         D       Am
But lately I just chase my tail around
C              G         D       Am
Hopin' that god posts bail


[Chorus]

G            D
Bones in the yard
C                          G
They're down there way too far
G                   D               C
It's like they were meant to stay a long, long time
                    C  G  D  Am  X2
I know they're mine


[Verse 2]

C              G        D        Am
I wish I could lay flat like the ground
C              G         D       Am
Maybe I would grow grass, make a town
C              G         D       Am
But lately I just drive the people out
C              G         D       Am
Hopin' that god might stay


[Chorus]

G            D
Bones in the yard
C                          G
They're down there way too far
G                   D               C
It's like they were meant to stay a long, long time
                    C  G  D  Am  X2
I know they're mine


[Verse 3]

C              G        D        Am
I wish I was a brass band making sound
C              G        D        Am
Shiny like an old car, strong and loud
C              G        D        Am
But lately I just pass by like a cloud
C              G        D        Am
Hopin' that god makes rain


[Chorus]

G            D
Bones in the yard
C                          G
They're down there way too far
G                   D               C
It's like they were meant to stay a long, long time
                    C  G  D  Am  X2
I know they're mine


[Verse 4]

C              G        D        Am
I wish I could lay flat like the ground
C              G        D        Am
Maybe I would grow grass, make a town
C              G        D        Am
But lately I just drive the people out
C              G        D        Am
Hopin' that god might stay
