Wilted Daisies Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Pretty, pretty wilted daisies all in a row
On the top of Mt. [A]Vernon
in the [D]dirty snow
Where the shadows sing of sun
[G]shine like a dying [D]crow
Pretty, pretty wilted [A]daisies
all in a row
[D]

[Verse 2]
You're waving high into the night
time of a New York street
Your newly painted yellow [A]taxi
has dirty seat[D]s
You're racing quick into [G]the nightclub,
so that you can [D]see
The same old sick and sadly [A]strangers
always seem to meet
[D]

[Verse 3]
'Cause it's a [G]long way to and
a short [A]ride from [Bm]the top
It's a rot[G]ting middle finger and
[A]the cancer will not [Bm]stop
It's a long [G]way to and a short
[A]ride from the top[Bm]
Well, your [G]hand begins to slip or they cut
[A]and either way you drop
[D]

[Verse 4]
Your small apartment is a mess but
you don't seem to care
The dirty dishes in [A]the corner go
with the broken [D]chairs
And higher grows the stack
of [G]bills that calmly declare
[D]If you don't pay within a w[A]eek
then your shit is theirs
[D]

[Verse 5]
You go to work Monday through Sunday,
open to close
The seven dollars that [A]they pay you,
son, is good as a broken [D]nose
When no one's watching, pull [G]your pants down,
touch your [D]toes
You're undercut and you're ex[A]ploited but
that's how our country grows
[D]

[Verse 6]
'Cause it's a [G]long way to and
[A]a short ride from [Bm]the top
It's a rot[G]ting middle finger and
[A]the cancer will not [Bm]stop
It's a [G]long way to and a short
[A]ride from the top[Bm]
And your [G]hand begins
to slip or they cut
[A]

[Verse 7]
Either way [Bm]you take
what they have stolen
Or try [G]to break what can't be broken
You can [D]speak what you believe
But every [A]thought comes preconceived

[Verse 8]
You try to [Bm]wash your hands to this
Clear your con[G]science and dismiss
Pretend our prob[D]lems don't exist
We're taking as[A]pirin for
a broken wrist

[Verse 9]
'Cause it's a [G]long,
[A]long way to the [Bm]top
Oh, it's your rot[G]ting middle finger
and [A]the cancer will not [Bm]stop
It's [G]a long, [A]long way to [Bm]the top
Well, [G]our hands begin to slip or they cut,
[A]either way we
