Timothy Hay

timothy hay note : some of the chord names are off a bit from the words , but if you listen to the song , you should be able to get it . E E on a cold december , just before dawn E E A ( repeat ) as the sun said hello! to the sky the mantis prayed while the lamellicorn tunneled and rolled in a threadbare tie while the holland lops in the karakung glades indignantly thump their feet and hop away when they cut their noses on the sharp - tipped blades ( which the grass doesn’t mind in the least ) and there’s a heat - pat waiting in the chicken - wire hutch where the does from the netherlands stay but that dry alfalfa don’t taste like much and we’re tired of the timothy hay E E E E A E ( x2 ) E E E D A E E E E A E E i touched her back , she was lying facedown E D A E as the dew turned to frost around her eyes , E E me and sister margaret on the pentagon lawn E E A E ( repeat ) arrested , our wrists in a plastic tie while the rats by the tracks on these winter days seeking shelter from the cold make a nest from the tracts of our various ways they can save their immortal Bm souls Bm Cm A D Cm A oh no timothy hay , no more timothy hay , etc . ( repeat progression from the second stanza ) on a cold december , just after dusk as the sun bids its cordial goodbyes , we’ll be split to pieces like an apple seed husk to reveal the tree that’s been hidden inside which sapling called in a tattered sarong as the seeds from the shepherd’s purse fell , broke the news to mom , we found a better mom we call ’god , ’ which she took quite well singing , what a beautiful god there must be! ( end on E chord )
