C
Got up before dawn
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Went down to the racetrack
C
Riding with the windows down
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Shortly after your first heart attack
Am C
You parked behind the paddock
Am C
Cracking asphalt underfoot
Am C
Coming up through the cracks
G C
Pale green things, pale green things
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
C
You watched the horses run their workouts
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
You held your stopwatch in your left hand
C
And a racing form beneath your arm
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Casting your gaze way out to no man's land
Am C
Sometimes I'll meet you out there
Am C
Lonely and frightened
Am C
Flicking my tongue out at the wet leaves
G C
Pale green things, pale green things

My sister called at 3 A.M.
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Just last December
C
And she told me how you'd died at last, at last
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
And that morning at the racetrack was one thing I remember
Am C
I turned it over in my mind
Am C
Like a living Chinese finger trap
Am C
Seaweed and Indiana Sawgrass
