[Intro 1]
[Am][E][G][F]

[Verse 1]
Allelu, allelu I have [Am]died
happy [E]and [G]lived
[F]To tell the tale to you
I have slept for [Am]forty [E]years
[G]And woke to find me [F]gone
I woke [Am]safe [G]and warm [A]in [F]your arms
In [C]your arms
[F]Your [C]arm[F] s,[Dm] in your ar[G]ms[C][G]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Not [E]informed o[G]f the[Dm]
[F]natural law
Squatting, lordly, [Am]on a stool, i[E]n a stall
[G]We spun gol[F]d clear out of straw
And, when our [Am]bales [F]of bul[Am]
[E]lion were [G]stored
You [F]burned me [G]like a [F]barn
I burned [Am]safe and [G]warm in [F]your arms
In [C]your [F]arms
[C]Your [F]arm[C]s[Dm]

[Verse 3]
I'm [Bb]afraid of [Dm]the
[Asus4]Big Retur[A]n[D]
There's a certain con[Bm]versation [G]lost
And [E]that [F#]loss incurred
[B]Wit[Bm]h nobody rem[D]aining
To [E]register [Dm]who had passed
[Bb]this[C] way i[A]n the [D]night
In the middle of the night
[Bm][G]
[E]Negating their [F#]grace and [B]their sight
Till [Bm]only [D]I remember, o[E]r mark
How we [Am]had our talk
[E]

[Verse 4]
[G]
[F]We took [Dm]our [F]ride
So that there was [Am]no- one home
And [E]the lights of Rome
[G]Flickered and d[Dm]ied[F]
And, what's [G]more,
I [Am]believe that you [E]knew it, too
[G]I thi[F]nk you saw their flares
And kept [G]me [Am]safely [A]un [G]awa[F]res
In [C]your arms
[F]Your arm[Dm]s, in yo[G]ur arms[C][G]

[Verse 5]
The [Am]grass was [E]tall
[G]And[C] str[G]ung wit[C]h b[F]urr[Dm]s[F]
I es[G]sayed that [Am]high sashay which in my [E]mind,
was my [G]way
You [F]hung behind, in yours
Any[G]how, she [Am]did not neigh, I do [E]not know
[G]What drew our[F] eyes to hers
That [Am]little black [G]mare did [F]not [Dm]stir[F]
Till I [C]lay down in your [F]arms

[Verse 6]
[Dm]
Poor old [Bb]dirty little [A]dog- size [D]horse
Sway[Bm]ing and [G]wheezing
As [E]a m[F#]at ter of co[B]urse
[D]Swaying and [E]wheezing
As a [Dm]mat ter of [Bb]pride
[C]That [A]poor old nag,
[D]not four pal[Bm]ms wide
[G]Had [E]waited [F#]a long ti[B]me
[D]Coated [E]in salt
Buckled [Dm]like a [Bb]ship
Run [A]foul of [D]the fence
And in the middle of [A]the night[Bm]
She'd [G]sprung up, [E]no [F#]provenance[B]
[D]Bearing the [E]whites of her eyes
[Dm]And you,[Bb] with your
[C]Arran[A]gement with Fat[D]e
Nodded sadly at [Bm]her lame [G]assault
On [E]that [F#]steady [B]old gate
Her [Bm]fault[D]lessly eti[E]olated
[Am]fishbelly- face[F][Am][E][G]
[F]The muzzle of a ghost
[G]And, pretty Johnny

[Verse 7]
[A]Appleseed
Vi[Am]a satel[Em]lite [E]feed
Tell [G]us, who was it
That [F]you then loved the most?
Pretty [G]Johnny [Am]Appleseed
Leave [E]a trail that leads
[G]Straight back dow[F]n to the farm
Lay me down [Am]safe [F]and [G]warm
In [F]your arms
In [E]your [D]arms
[E][F][G]
