[Verse]
       Ab              Fm
I have stood here in this garden
      Cm                   Eb
Where you placed me in the spring
  Ab                Fm              Cm       Eb
I have held my arms gracefully from my side


[Chorus]
  Db              Eb
A dog dish and an Afro pick
Cm              Fm
You laid beside me as a trick
      Db           Eb                Cm
Of compassion that comes through the night

Db                     Eb
In fields of green, in fields of straw
Cm                     Fm
There ain't no telling what we saw
      Db            Eb   Ab
As we stand together, on this hill


[Verse]
Ab             Fm             Cm          Eb
I used to be a part of a more complicated scheme
   Ab             Fm            Cm      Eb
As furniture with glass upon my head


[Chorus]
Db                      Eb
You paint me white, you clean me off
Cm                   Fm
You say my name each time you cough
       Db         Eb  Cm
It's a pattern as old as it gets

Db                        Eb
I'll stay right here till you get back
Cm                         Fm
You're concrete white, I'm plastic black
        Db        Eb         Ab
I'm the statue of the Virgin Mary

[Verse]
     Ab              Fm
I am free from all decisions
  Cm                  Eb
I am free from all despair
    Ab                    Fm         Cm       Eb
You can see there's not a wrinkle on my face


[Outro]
Db                     Eb
Looks pretty good from where I stand
   Cm                Fm
No crying fields, no sins of man
Db          Cm      Fm
All for the love of Raymond
Db          Eb      Ab
All for the love of Raymond
