[Em]In the garden dist[D]rict
[A]Where the plants grow [Em]strong and tall

[Verse 2]
[Em]In the fall wh[A]en p[D]lants return
By [A]harvest time she [Em]knows the score
[G]Ripe and ready [F#]to the eye
Yet [F]rotten somehow [Em]to the co[Bm]re
And they call [Em]her
Quick[G]lime girl behind her [Em]back

A harvest of life a [Bbdim]harvest o[Bb]f dea[Bbdim]th
One [A]body of life one [G]body of death
And [Em]when you've gone
and [Bb]choked to death
With [A]laughter and a [G]little step
[Em]I'll prepare the quick[Bbdim]lime, friend
For your [A]ripe and ready [G]grave
For your [Am]ripe and ready [Em]grave

[Verse 4]
It's [Em]springtime now and [D]cares subside
And the [A]plannings almost [Em]done
And [G]fertile graves it [F#]seems exist
Within [F]a mile of that Duke's [Em]joint
Where Coast Guard crews
still [G]take their [A]leave
Quite listless in the [D]sun[Em]
And [G]the Quicklime girl still [F#]plies her trade
Re[F]duction of the many from [Em]the one
[Bm]And they c[F#]all her
[Em]Quic[A]klime girl[G] behind
her [Em]back
[A]Quicklime [G]girl behind the [D]bush[Em]
[A]Quick[G]lime girl
[A]Well she's the [Bm]mistress of
the salmon salt
[A]Quicklime girl
Quick[G]lime girl they call her
[A]Quicklime [F#]girl
[Em]

[Verse 5]
A harvest of life a har
[Bb]vest [Bbdim]of death
Re[A]sumes its course each [G]day
[Em]It comes as if by sche[Bb]dule[Bbdim]
A [A]harvester lifts his [G]arms to the rain
The [Em]toes that crawl
The [Bbdim]knees that jerk
[A]The necks like swans that
[G]seem to [A]turn[Em]
As if [Bm]in c[Bb]lined to[Bbdim] gasp or[A] pray[G][Em][F#]
