Jeffrey Lee Pierce: "Wildweed" (from the "Wildweed" album)


intro:  feedback noise

 
        C#m  E   B   B/C
        Oh, wildweed
        C#m  E   B   B/C
        oh, wildweed


C#
Over there is a great red house
         B
you are ready to burn tonight
       C#
your Chinese wife and children
           B
standing stupid there
 G#                                     F# (4 times sliding up 244322/xx8676/xx11,11,11,9/xx16,15,14,14)
You can no longer hurt them again and again


        Oh, wildweed
        oh, wildweed


Your mind is hot on your wires
and grey against your cheek
and at midnight you turned against
your children there
I don't ever want to see you living again


        Oh, wildweed
        oh, wildweed


instrumental = verse

 
        Oh, wildweed
        oh, wildweed


There is a great red house
fire licks the kiss inside
your head runs and Mexico
is so far away
you had never let no one see you ever again


        Oh, wildweed
        oh, wildweed
        oh, wildweed
        oh, wildweed

end:
   C#m
