-this song is just D-A-G in two progressions. the riff is;
-(D chord open)
-e-3-2-0-3-2-----------
-B-----------3---3-----
-G-------------2---0---
-    D                       G
-The lands opening up like a blanket
-         D                            G
-and the dandelions spread themselves thickly out
-   D                     A               D
-along the fields, which are, evidently, endless;
-           D                         G
-and we are hotly in love with one another.
-                D                        G
-we’ve got an unquenchable thirst in our throats.
-             D                          A
-we are, for some reason, all the time, bleeding,
-             D
-and we are friendless.
-(muted strums - D)
-D                  G         D                         G
-and we love these dogs that roll on the lawns here in galesburg –
-D                          A                     D
-because they seem to know something nobody else knows.
-       D                              G
-it is written in the smiles on their faces,
-        D                         G
-and it rings in their high young voices
-        D                     A
-we are burning up all of our choices up here
-           G                             D (and into riff)
-where the tall grass grows, up here in galesburg.
-the sky’s opening up like an old wound,
-and the rain on our bodies is warm tonight
-and the ground underneath us shakes in the cracking thunder.
-we can taste fresh blood in our mouths again:
-there is no chance of getting enough of it,
-and we tally up all our possessions, we’re going under.
-but we love these dogs that loll in the rain here in galesburg
-as the new season rocks them in its terrible arms.
-yeah they howl as though the world were ending,
-and we are watching the sky unwinding
-and some of our promises were binding
-up here where our dreams take form up here in galesburg.
