Sprout And The Bean

	  		(Intro)  B-G#m-B-G#m 



(verse 1) 

B 
I slept all day 

 G#m 
awoke with distaste 

      B 
and I railed, 

      G#m 
and I raved 



(verse 2) 

E 
That the difference between 

C# 
the sprout and the bean 

E 
is a golden ring, 

C# 
it is a twisted string. 

E 
And you can ask the counselor; 

C# 
you can ask the king; 

            E 
and they'll say the same thing; 

C# 
and it's a funny thing: 





          E 
Should we go outside? 

          C# 
Should we go outside? 

          E 
Should we break some bread? 

      C# 
Are y'interested? 




B-G#m-B-G#m 



(verse 3) 

B 
And as I said, 

   G#m 
I slept as though dead 

         B                  G#m 
dreaming seamless dreams of lead. 


(verse 4) 

E 
When you go away, 

C# 
I am big-boned and fey 

E 
in the dust of the day, 

C# 
in the dirt of the day. 


(Bridge)  

E 
and Danger! Danger! Drawing near them was a white coat, 

C# 
and Danger! Danger! drawing near them was a broad boat, 

E 
And the water! water! running clear beneath a white throat, 

C# 
and the hollow chatter of the talking of the Tadpoles, 




    F#      E 
who know th'outside! 

          C# 
Should we go outside? 

          E 
Should we break some bread? 

      C# 
Are y'interested?
