Tom : C#m
[Intro 2x]
E C#m E C#m
Lay low little babe
E C#m
You're still my precious child
E C#m
You're all old and grown now
E C#m
But you're still the same inside
A C#m
Standin' on the whippgrass
Standin' on the whippgrass
Sittin' on the whippgrass
G#
Watch and see how we last
E C#m
You're not alone tonight, babe
E C#m
You're not so far from your home
E C#m
You got the strength of all us, babe
E C#m
I give a prayer unknown(?)
A C#m
Sittin' on the whippgrass
Sittin' on the whippgrass
Just sittin' on the whippgrass
G#
I'm so full
and this is so vast
E C#m E C#m
I know we'll all be together, babe
E C#m
Someday, somehow
E C#m
Carry to a higher bound, babe
E C#m
It's not a sight or a sound
E C#m
Smokin' around
E C#m
It's within me somehow
E C#m
I'll carry to what I am bound
E C#m
The truth that I have found
A C#m
Standin' on the whippgrass
It moves along the whippgrass
It moves along the whippgrass
It moves along the whippgrass
G#
See how it lasts
