Gone to Ground:
words and music by Tony Chapman (copyriqhted)
F Em(with an extra HIGH C )
Your wife wants a new couch, you want a photo room
Eb6 D7
Your kids want the beach, you want your paints to bloom
C#mj7 C F
There's a noise outside drowning your inner sound
Ab Eb Bb2 F
Your true self has gone to ground
You've done your job too long, want to write poetry
Car needs fixing, you want to draw the trees
That puppy once so sweet is a hell hound
Your true self has gone to ground
Gm Am Bb C
But its not too late, never too late, even if your ninety-eight
F# Ebm C C+
You can still turn round fate, and open the gate
instrumental over verse
Duty blackmails, you drag your feet each day
Coulds, shoulds, whirlpool in your way
Where's that child so young and the joy he'd found
Your true self has gone to ground
Your true self has gone to ground
Agh…..(unaccompanied to the end)
Your true self has gone to ground
Your true self has gone to ground
