F C Gm Dm C F C
Dm C/G
Bb A Dm Dm/C G Bb/D Bb F
F C
So much depends
Gm
On first loves and friends
Dm C
Legs for a table
F C
I, I painted my room
Gm
With judgments and doom
Dm C/G
But I still ain't able
Bb A
To sleep, got to sleep
Dm Dm/C G
And dream up some dreams I can keep
Bb/D Bb F
Oh my, my marigold, marigold
F C
I was walking at dawn
Gm
When something turned on
Dm C
But I couldn't name it
F C
So I, I went back home
Gm
I did it alone
Dm C/G
But I couldn't claim it
Bb A
I tried, yes I tried
Dm Dm/C G
I tried honey I was denied
Bb/D Bb F
Oh my, my marigold, marigold

Dm
Well everything becomes much more meaningless
F
As time passes by
Dm
So I hide in the bedroom with strong curtains drawn
Bb C
So I can't look the world in the eye
F C
I heard you were well
Gm
I heard that you fell
Dm C
Back on your feet
F C
Well me, I'm still in fear
Gm
I planted her here
Dm C/G
Right in the street
Bb A
To sleep, so she sleeps
Dm Dm/C G
And dreams with the orphans and freaks
Bb/D Bb F
Oh my, my marigold, marigold
F C
Now talk, talk it is cheap
Gm
I talk in my sleep
Dm C
I know what to say
F C
I said, I said you were wise
Gm
To let go of my eyes
Dm C/G
And push me away
Bb A
And run, yes you run
Dm Dm/C G
You run honey nothing gets done
Bb/D Bb F
Oh my, my marigold, marigold
Dm F
But all that I've learned it must be a chemical change
Dm
After all I'm no different from the next twisted talker
Bb C
Who's taking his lies to the grave
F C
I wasn't myself
Gm
I was nobody else
Dm C
That I couldn't be
F C
Like you were nobody too
Gm F C/G
To somebody who's exactly like me
Bb A
So sleep, let her sleep
Dm Dm/C G
And dream up the dreams we can keep
Bb/D Bb F
Oh my, my marigold, marigold
