Intro: D5 A G*
Rob[Bm] lived in a box b[G]y the rails
Onl[Bm]y thing he knew, [G]you don't fail
When[Bm] you live in a box [G]by the rails
A G* D5
Don't comb your hair, don't comb your tail
[D5]Sweep my mess away
[D5]Leave my body, leave my bones
[D5]Leave me whole and leave my soul
G* Bm
Leave me nothing, I don't need at all
G* D5
Nothing, I don't need at all
Transition: A G*
He ate from the bins in the park
Stayed out with the rats after dark
Never left a trail, never made his mark
When he ate with the rats after dark
Sweep my mess away
Leave my body, leave my bones
Leave me whole and leave my soul
Leave me nothing, I don't need at all
Nothing, I don't need at all
Transition
Calling on his friends, never made him sad
Didn't want the things he never had
It only made them feel so bad
For having the things he never had
Sweep my mess away
Leave my body, leave my bones
Leave me whole and leave my soul
Leave me nothing, I don't need at all
Nothing, I don't need at all
Transition
[Bm]If you stay in that box [G]overnight
[Bm]And don't get out when it gets l[G]ight
[Bm]There's not much lost of the sec[G]ret life
A G* Bm
That's done wrong and it's never done right
Now some more fl[G]owers grow
[Bm]The corn gets ea[G]ten by a few more crows
[Bm]And an old man's [G]box is full of bones
A G* D5
Won't see his footprints in the snow
Sweep my mess away
Leave my body, leave my bones
Leave me whole and leave my soul
Leave me nothing, I don't need at all
Nothing, I don't need at all
[D5]Sweep my mess away
[D5]Leave my body, leave my bones
[D5]Leave me whole and leave my soul
G* Bm
Leave me nothing, I don't need at all
G* D5
Nothing, I don't need at all
The outro is kind of weird, but after the last D5, you switch to A, G*, and then
it's pretty much the intro
over and over until you're on D5 for the last hit.
